Hi, I'm currently waiting to hear from the Chicago Yacht Club and/or the NOOD organizers about whether they will allow catamarans to participate in this year's Chicago NOOD regatta, June 13-15. This could be a great opportunity for us to give multihull sailing some visibility at a high profile, well attended, traditionally monohull event. The precedent being set by the F-18s and A-class at the Seattle NOOD this year gives us some hope, but it will depend on having sufficient interest from cat sailors. It would help me to hear from anyone who might be interested in participating so I can gauge potential attendance. If you think there is any possibility of you attending, could you please either PM me or email me at mark dot thomson at ieee dot org.

Thanks.
