At Gold Cup #3 at Port Clinton, Ohio we had 12 registered and 11 racers. Could we get bigger for Muskegon (August 2 and 3), sure we could if some of the CRAW F 17's make the trek eastward. I hope some do because Gold Cup #5 is in Racine, Wisconsin (August 9 and 10) and we hope to have some CRAM and OCRA boats travel westward.
So far this season we have passed out $525 in prize money to nine different sailors at our half way point in the season. Ya can't win if ya don't play. We put your finishing position in a hat and pull numbers. First pull for $25, second pull for $50 and third pull for $100. Nice and easy gas money. All ya have to do is race to win prizes...not too tough of a requirement.
Hope to see more people show up for our next Gold Cup #4. (come on CRAW!)

Oh yea, still have time to plug the 2008 Nacra North Americans.
As expected the F 17 class is leading the way on paid registrations. Time to get off the fence and get those paid registrations mailed for the $50 early registration discount ladies and gents.
