Well, I know it's a million miles away but its time to stat thinking
about NEXT summers North Americans , I am going to be organizing the
regatta with the help of Chris Wickham who has graciously offer to help.
What I need at this time is a show of hands as to who will be coming
over to California so that I can start a dialogue with the Fresno
Sailing Club who will help as race officer's .It is critically important
we must have a minimum of 10 boats preferably 12. The Regatta will most
likely be in late July or August 2009
.In 07 we fail to show up at Huntington Lake and ended up going to
Vancouver, so if we commit this time we must show up!! I will need a
financial commitment by 10.31.08
Huntington Lake is possibly the best place in the summer to sail on the
west coast, situated at 7000 high in the Sierras a good thermal wind
blows in every day producing spectacular sailing in a spectacular
setting. There is good camping great cabins and the ambiance of the High
Sierras. The lake is about an hour and a half drive from Fresno, which
has a good airport connecting to the rest of the country.
Here are a few web pages showing off the lake and the Sailing
