well, as far as the gas prices are concerned, oil dropped below $70/barrel today so we might be seeing some relief there...
I bought my new main and spin after my disasterous debacle and nightmare that was Tradewinds 2007. Purchased 6 weeks prior to Spring Fever and I had to get the main drop shipped to Nigel's house so I had it for the regatta :P
The question is when and where? We haven't had any regattas with a majority of the class in attendance.
Not only that, but the class association is non-existent as far as I can tell. I don't know who to even send money to or who to contact about concerns with the class. AFAIK Jack is our class president.
