Wow, what a great remembrance of the Olson 30 fleet in California. I
also like Chuck got my first taste of sailing the olson 30 on Masquerade
with John. I actually have a large photo of Masquerade and Jewel
sailing side by side that hangs over my desk to remind me of the great
times back then. John was actually friends with Bill Walters who was
the owner of the Tartan 48 "Fleetwood" and eventually partners with my
father John on the SC50 " Night Train". I can remember my first race on
the boat was a trip from Ventura over to Santa Cruz and we spent the
night then raced back. John was a blast to sail with and the boat was
the most fun I'd ever had as a young kid coming up in sailing. I went
on to sail sleds on the west coast and eventually down on the gulf coast
and Florida but I will always remember my first ride on that awesome
Olson 30.
