well I did the novice divison last year at WW and I did well and placed. I got first place in both races on sunday, saturday is where I didnt do so well. I was on a H16 and learned ALOT from the various people etc, and was a great way to just get some real practice in. I think I'll do the normal division this year, even though it's on a new boat I have no experience with <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That is what I tell new guys to do. Just get out there I watch what the other guys do, look at how they setup there boats, pick there brains around the fire. We have a ball and the jello shots are deadly. PLEASE look me up when you come down
Doug, they had a novice division at red fish reach, which is a long distance race that most people without spinakers don't even bother to do (me and like 2 other boats were the only ones crazy enough to do it without a spin) so I would think they'd have it at WW which has alot more non-spin boats?
Get out there with us. You will probably be racing with me in the Open Class Non Spin. I will probably race with the reacher if i can get reacher halyard fix. Broke it last time I sailed. If not uni. You will learn a lot. I have to get better at my starts. I use to be deadly. Finished 2nd in State in 81 in Hobie 16B. Back when we had 25 boats starts. Hope to see all of you there. Come up and say hi. can't miss my boat. "Stress Fress" #007.
The boat turned out great. what are you calling her?? I have named my lady "Bottoms Up".. lol I told Feras to get the Blue stickers so we dont all look the same.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am adding my boat name to the hulls. I will post the pics once I complete it.. I wish you could make it this weekend to the dike its gonna be a fun one!!!

I think you guys would be great to sit around a bomb fire with and have a few beers.LOL
A member of my old Hobie fleet who's nickname is La Bamba would always bring what he called "Dave's Secret Sauce" to light bon fires. It was usually a mix of automatic transmission fluid and miscellaneous petro chemicals. Bomb fire is an apt description of the results. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
