Sorry about the quick trigger finger.
Let's do this again:
1. Yes. July 13-17. Details to follow.
2. and 4. Here is a schedule we have been discussing in the NW:
a. Flights of Spring, Jericho Sailing Center, Vancouver, B.C. April
25-26*
b. Seattle NOOD, Seattle Corinthian Yacht Club, May 23-24*
c. North American Championships, Huntington Lake, CA July 13-17
d. Skiff clinic and regatta, Columbia Gorge Racing Association, Cascade
Locks, OR July 20-24*
e. Fleet championship, Seattle Corinthian Yacht Club, October 3-4*
e. Fall dinghy regatta, St. Francis Yacht Club, San Francisco, CA
October 24-25*
*These dates are guestimates based on previous years scheduling of these
events. If you have time and want to try to confirm the dates we could move
this process along a bit.
I haven't had a chance to nail down these dates, but I think they're helpful
now for planning purposes. For example, if California sailors wanted to
come up to Flights of Spring, you could leave your boats here and do NOOD the
following month. That would cut down on the amount of travel time but allow
you to have two events.
We are all interested in creating a calendar that people can plan on as
early as possible. If you have other ideas lets talk about them. I like the
idea of the Spring dinghy regatta but would need help getting my boat down so
that I could avoid taking the Friday or Monday off for travel time.
3. I don't know the answer to your question about the Gorge event, but it
sounds as if this year's event was a success and so I am thinking they will do
it again next summer. Again, if you want to contact them and confirm it,
that would be helpful in our planning.
Thanks for your energy Pieter! We are all sitting inside looking out at the
rain and gloom these days!

I am planning my calendar and looking for races in 2009 we can take single
handed skiffs to, in particular in the western states.
1 - is the Swift Solo (& Musto) North American's at Huntington Lake a GO ?
If so, when ?
2 - if 6 of more Swifts/Mustos are participating at the Saint Francis'
Spring Dinghy regatta, March 14-15, we can get our own start. So far, we have
2
Mustos. Is anyone else interested ?
3 - who is planning to go to the Gorge Skiff Regatta this year ? Is the
clinic open to Swift/Musto sailors ?
4- any regattas in WA that are great for Swift/Musto sailors ?
Kind Regards,
Pieter
