The first Rogue Challenger
Gotta love those old IOR boats
This is our new Santana 20, she replaced The Dirty Glass and so far has proven to be a great boat for us. The name comes from a TV show I really like, I think it describes our crew well, maybe not our sailing.... or at least lets hope not.

Where it begins!
As the first post on the new S20 blog I must mention the loss of The Dirty Glass. She was a great boat and treated us so well! We learned an incredible amount on her.
But on May 10th a force 4 tornado destroyed her and hundreds of other boats at Lake Thunderbird.
She was totaled after being thrown 50 yards across the yard and into a telephone pole. Here is her resting place after the storm!
But from the ashes rises the new S20 that my insurance company bought me. She is hull #352 and was previously owned by Bob Heaslet who then sold it to Wayne Lewis and then I bought it from him. As you will see from the picture she is all blue with a dark bottom. There are a few little things that need some work but all together she is a great boat. She is rigged really well and ready to go win races. That has already been proven in some of the Wednesday night races at Hefner and also the Lighthouse Regatta where we took 2 bullets and took second over all beating Brit Williams (my goal for two years).
This is just the beginning! When I bought the Dirty Glass I said I wanted to create a winning racing program. Well here we are almost three years later and we now are one of the quicker boats around! Sure Brit and IV are fast and can beat us but we are getting really close!
So save this link, follow our progress and enjoy reading about the new boat called Arrested Development!
