Mark,

The F18 event is part of a larger CORK week long regatta. CORK is under new management now (Ross is gone) and things have changed for the better. I wouldn't say the launching sucks...it's just unique and you adapt as with any sailing venue. It's still a little pricey compared to Hobie points regattas but they do include the socials now. I like sailing at Kingston. I'm going for the competition and to see old friends from Quebec. Being in Detroit, CORK vs. Cat Fight is 6 of one, half dozen of the other regarding the drive distance. Going to Kingston has the BIG advantage...no I-80/I-90 congestion in IL and IN or Chicago to deal with...although Toronto can be trying depending on the time of day. Any other NE state-side F18's coming up?
