Ken, You definitely want to help build the F18 fleet. The Colwells were just last night lamenting you beating them up in the 18s years ago... Sell your Acat and buy a WC, or Infusion, or C2, or whatever, just get some more boats out on the water in the NW!
A question for the CA folks, how good a regatta is the ABYC midwinters? Looks like 7 boats last year with a lot of DNS/DNC's... I am considering coming down for that and the SD NOODS, and there may be some other NW boats who want to get a jump on the season without freezing our tails off up here. What kind of turnout is there likely to be?
