John the Area D Rep says: Double-check your US Sailing memberships (skipper and crew). Make sure your entry form is filled out right. Double-check your class rules - the only class rules waived for the event are the wind restrictions some classes have. All other requirements are in force (e.g., Formula 18 safety equipment <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />). If you 'skip' a class rule or two, you could be protested by another competitor.

John the outgoing chairman who gets to sail in the event for the first time in a looooooong time says:

VAAAHOOOOOOOOO!

Tough fleet - remember that you might have different characteristics than the boat next to you on the start line. In a mixed fleet, it took me too many times to learn a hard lesson on the M4.3 - there is NO WAY you can be aggressive on the start line with Nacra 20s when you're on a 14-foot boat! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

See you there -
