Very generous offers (except for the kitten pate) and thank you all. Hopefully by this time next month, I'll know if my transfer is approved and I'll be able to set my calendar and budget for the rest of the season.

I am very aware of the politics vs the sailing. It happens in all fleets, classes, yatch clubs, and even national and global authorities.

BTW, have to share that my first new modern beach cat was a Nacra F18 (2003).
