Maybe we could put off the discussion about F18 vs. A-Cat sailors until the third week in September as the Formula 18 North Americans will be finished by then. The event is Sept 8-12, 2009. Those planning attendance: Jay and Pease Glaser, Pete Melvin, Misha, all, at least most of, the West Coasters, a container containing as many as 10 sailors will be coming from Mike Krantz place, make sure you contact him to get on board. There will be Tigers, Wild Cats, Infusions, Capricorns and I do not know what else.

Most important to this subject is there will be A-Catters sailing on Formula 18s. I can tell you now, they are good. We have already experienced this at some of our regattas. There are an incredible addition of thoroughbreds entering the Formula 18s this year.

Later,
Dan
