Bob M,
From what I understood the A/B qualifiers was held at the Lipton Cup in Squantum, MA. I didn't know about it until after the event but a few people told me about it, apparently Mike Easton and Tripp Burd won.
It was supposed to be in New Haven again but I think that regatta was pretty sketchy all summer... and in the end it ended up being cancelled for good a week or two ago. Joe doesn't have as much energy as he used to, he has had some health problems. He has been the area B rep for years and he loves making regattas he organizes the qualifiers. He has a lot to do with his sailing program and with his recent health problems I don't know how much longer he will even be doing that. I don't know if anyone has offered to take over the position as area rep. but it might be time to offer again.
Bob o,
I agree with you, it should be in upstate NY one of these days, as much as I hate driving up there, you guys drove down to Madison plenty of times. It's a big area especially since a/b got combined and it can't always be down in the better part of the area <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
