Hi Dave

That's great... thank you!

The Tornado guy in Canada will be Alain Dubec. I can get you his email if you don't have it already. Alain is on board with this initiative.

I suggest that you coordinate with Chris Tuckfield in the Detroit Area and I am looking for a CRAM I20 contact to propose one or two events in your area that don't conflict with the Michigan region.

The events we are looking for would preferably run the spin cats in one start and one course... (all others welcome as well) split outs for one design, formulae etc classes may or may not come with trophies...

Gunpowder is in May and the VOR maxi 40's and restart are in town that week PLUS its' cold up north so this event will not conflict with anything you might want to schedule. Should be interesting on the Chesapeake.

The Statue of Liberty race is just a great fun event and they are pushing for 100 boats this year and I for one would like to help them.

So... let me know what contact info you need and if I can be of any help in forging a consensus.

Thanks again

Oh... and don't forget Alain's admonition... "Life is too short to sail an ugly boat"
