CRAM's N20 fleet is one boat, and that skipper just got injured (hit by a powerboat while snorkeling, shearing his lower leg bone). The CRAW N20 fleet is growing and might be a better source for someone to set up this kind of support. CRAW is also hosting the Catfight this year, but Catfight will have all spinnaker boats starting together. If that is OK, then I think Catfight is a great choice.

Another venue for your fleet to race, although CRAM won't fill much of the field, is the race at Benton Harbor, MI July 22 & 23. The regatta will also be the Northern Area F18 Championships, so the 20 footers should get their own start or maybe start in Portsmouth if attendance is low. It is a terrific site with motor home camping and tent camping on site. Great beach and getting the boats in and out is the best of all CRAM regattas. Just a thought.
