Hi all,
Work has been so hectic it looks like I am going to be behind my schedule to
get the boat finished by mid September for the first regatta. I've been talking
to a lot of people about their foam cores for toe rails, tapered tillers,
spreaders and blades etc. etc; It seems like a lot of people will also be in my
situation with an almost, but not quite, finished boat. Our sails have also
been on the slow boat from China so none of us are getting any practice in. I'd
like to propose the suggestion that we move the Regatta from September into the
winter and perhaps move the venue to Stuart Florida where it is plenty warm
enough to get together in the winter or just before the spring or whenever we
can all agree. This is mainly going to affect the few organized and diligent
people who have raced to get their boats done on time. With their indulgence I
think we can get a whole lot more boats on the line for the first Regatta. In
any case those with completed boats get the benefit of practice during the rest
of summer. Are there any strong reactions to this suggestion, either way??
