Excellent job, Mark - please send me the top three finishers' paperwork, and we'll get Matt set up for the Alter Cup in California. Hope he enjoys the Tiger - we'll have 11 of them at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club next April. Only 6 months away!

Folks - petitions are rolling in. Only one qualifying event left. All the various nationals are complete. The Championship fleet will be getting their invitations to compete for the Hobie Alter Cup soon.

Also - the Multihull Council has accepted a bid from the Pensacola Beach Yacht Club, Key Sailing, and Performance Catamarans to host the 2006 event. I am currently seeking a venue for 2007.

Area D South is in Melbourne, FL - November 6 and 7 - hosted by the Hubel's at Performance Sail and Sport. NOR is at http://www.ussailing.org/alter/alter05/elims04/area_dS_nor_entry.pdf

ps - great to be back on-line!
