L. A. ADVenture Rides

We used to have a 303... I loved it.

Excellent! I might thake you up on that one day. No problem on doing all of the work. I used to race my girl singlehanded and double handed.

This is a pic of her in the 2003 Ensenada Race. I've also raced her to Cabo, and Manzanillo.

In 1999, I won the Santa Barbara/King HArbor race, Long Beach Race Week, Crew of Two Around Catalina, Catalina Island Series, and we took 2nd in the Channel ISlands Race in 1998.



Alas, I sold her last year as the kid duties took priority over days and weeks of fun and alcohol filled time on the water.

I din't no you into sailboats that hard ,i race with my uncle in his boat and Win 3 times the Buenos Aires(argentina) to Rio (brazil ),i be up for help with the work ,just need someone the yeld wath to do went im drunk

Wow, that's awesome Rob! Sounds like you were pretty good too!

How much beer do those things hold?

us much you can afford wen playing,no at all wen racing

The saying around Long Beach/Newport was that if you sailed on Allegiance, you must have a high tolerance for alcohol .

We used to rate the distance of a race by how many cases or kegs it would take to finish.

Herrhelmet used to race with me. He could tell some stories I'm sure . Not to include the one where I got him thrown out of his Yacht Club for life due to a little incident in Ensenda involving an angry midget, a cruise ship, a dragging anchor and a lot of alcohol, I think a shot gun might have been involved in this incident as well. Could've been another though, they all run together after a while.

That's a good capitan ,my uncle load the boat wen playing ,but no let you bring more the 2 liters o scotch wen racing ,he always race against the pro rich guys down there and beatr theme by few hours with a crew o 5-7 in a 37 ft ,i need the ask him wath brand was the he copy .

My main competitors were Roy Disney (Walt's Nephew) and Dennis Conners.

I usually raced sprints with 13-15 people and offshore with 6-8 depending on the length of the race.
