Thanks JW!
But I need to say some thanks too.
Thanks to NAF18 NAF18, and HCNA HCA for supporting the idea of a West Coast Championships with Sailing World at the 2010 San Francisco NOOD.
Thanks to Mike Krantz of Zhik.USA
Thanks to Matt Miller and Hobie USA
Thanks to Jeremy Leonard of Surf City Racing Catamarans

Thanks to Dan DeLave, John Williams, Rich Vilvens, Mark Jones, and many others that worked the peer pressure in the background and kept the information flowing.

And especially for the 22 skippers and crews that signed on to a new venue and a new format. Truly appreciated.



We got the F18's into a major venue at the St. Francis Yacht Club, with a City Course venue and Crissy Field launch. And the real surprises came when they invited us back!
Sailing World is proposing a 3-day event next year. And StFYC was suggesting they would like to be considered for our Nationals at some point. Now they do have nice toilet amenities there I'll admit.
But that warm water at the ABYC was very soothing to all of the Pacific Northwest guys. It would be a tough call...
