Doug,
Great to hear there's more interest around here! Try to find me at the regatta--Fritz and I are running it, so we should stick out. Also, You're welcome to come by and use my boats. I have several 14s on the beach and I'm working on a SC19 to take a bunch of people on. We also have a Rookie Race and tuning clinic scheduled soon, so you can get on a boat and see how you like it.
OUr next fleet meeting is the first Wednesday in June at the Lynnhaven Pub near shore drive and Great Neck.
