Well, you guys are all basically saying the same things I'm thinking, which is good to hear. The petition issue is something I never considered.

Roton Point has always been an outstanding venue, wind or no wind. They have good RC, and we have several multihull- experienced, USSA-certified ROs in the area (certified ROs are required for this event level). Quincy always had great RC, but access for beach cats was challenging.

I like the fixed-date idea. We could probably pull that off in late September or early October, but again, with neighboring events so close, it may take some creativity.

BTW, not racing this year isn't Hunter's fault, it's a choice I made in the spring. Since Michelle wouldn't be sailing with me, rather than find another crew, I decided to advance my race management until she decides she's ready to get back on the boat. Not sailing is driving her nuts too, so hopefully next year, we'll be back in the swing of things. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
