Is there a decent Pet friendly place to stay near the event site? We are looking at coming and will have our dog with us.

Whipped this hotel list together... This isn't even all the hotels in the area.. there are TONS. I put over 30 hotels on here and most are within 2-3 miles of the club. Those prices are for september. Range from $50-$275 a night.. most on the cheaper side. There are quite a few pet friendly ones.
I will finish this eventually and fill in the rest of the phone numbers and prices.
Not sure if the condos listed at F18Northamericans.com are pet friendly or not, my guess is not.
We haven;t discussed a host hotel yet but should have that sorted out soon.

FYI
We stayed at International Inn & Suites last year and it was kind of a dump.

Don't do it! He's lying! He is 5'3" and weighs 275, and has almost no sailing experience. And, he is using my sail #!

Finishing up some logistics and looking for the time off to be aproved.

I work at a Hobie dealer that is 4 miles from HYC. Let me know if you need anything on this end logistically... storage, place to send a container, etc.

We are looking at a cross country drive. So taking 3 weeks with a stop off in Ohio on the way in and out. Hopefully we can get a double or tripple stack set up and split some of the fuel cost for the truck. then the other teams can fly in and enjoy. Fingers crossed it works out.

Will there be a chance to measure the boats at the event? My boat isn't measured and I don't have a measurer within 12 hours drive of me.

There will be measurement at the event, but with a whole season to go, you should really save yourself the effort and take care of it sooner. Many folks thought ahead last year and they went through the "express" line in Racine - all-up weight check and onto the beach.

you going to measure at the Ditch Run or the SF-NOOD?

There will be a number of measurers at the NOOD event (like there was last year). Buddy up to someone and get 'er done. Pop me a PM or an e-mail if you'd like, or pick one of the other guys.

Another great reason to come to North Americans... AC World Series Event 3 September 17-25th. Article http://www.newport-now.com/2011/02/...newport-remains-on-top-ofthe-short-list/
Newport has a 75% chance to hold this event.
It's only an hour and a half from Hyannis! And your only 30 minutes from Newport on your drive to the Cape.
