Thanks Brian I would say that the closest thing I see to what we have been lucky enough to accomplish (yes,lots of luck) is what the people and Fleets of division 7 are doing. John is a part of that and the enthusiasm from people like Chris Wessels and Todd Wilson who put on the 14 Nationals is what got me to drive to Iowa to sail. I'm too big for the 16 so the 14 is pretty funny for me to be on.(kinda like Chris Farley " Fat guy on a little boat") Hope to play with the big kids some day and have an F18. The 14's had 35 boats and was the largest single hand Nationals per Mark's tally sheet. The boats and people are out there. It's a big time and money commitment to grow sailing.
