Old salt, not sure if you are planning to get into racing the Capricorn, but just want to let you know that the 2010 F18 North Americans are on in Wisconsin in August. The latest boat to sign up is also from Nova Scotia. Details at http://crawsailing.net/Racine2010. 36 F18s signed up so far for their North American Championship, and a total of 53 boats over four classes for the combined Racine Catamaran Champs. It's going to be epic!
