I'll keep you guys posted on how things develop this winter. There are more and more used boats on the market, too.

We are really going to put an effort in rejuvenating the BSC fleet in 2007 (an event in May and Oct that we will try to have big cat fleets). I've talked to four or five sailors that used to be active, got out of sailing for a while and are ready to come back - but they want a more versatile boat (no crew, want spin, something to sail with kids, etc.). It seems like we all took a break and now are ready to start sailing again - but our boats don't match our needs.

Anytime you guys want to come down, we can go for a sail. The boat looks very sharp in doublehanded mode (and is probably a more effective racer once it gets to trapezing wind conditions).

are all good websites with lots of information on the class and options for boats.

Shoot me an email with your contact info, tbshannon[at]charter.net, and I'll be sure to get you on the spam (kidding) list.
