That should make it at least 4 boats from the great frozen, salt encrusted, pothole filled north -aka Michigan. Any CRAW guys gonna make it? Jeff R H18, C2 USA1193 cramsailing.com crescentsail.com

It's the crew that makes these boats go, and there will be some fast teams at Tradewinds. Unfortunately our boat isn't race ready; we'll be there putting the boat back together, might get out on Sunday or Monday for some tuning. It'd be great to jump on the Falcon for a test ride!

I don't know if anyone from the F16 class would have knowingly done this conflicting with tradewinds? I'll fess up, I registered Mike for one of those registrations because he was taking forever. Mike isn't sailing the 17 right now.

Wasn't there also a similar F16 conflict last with with Miami? ...or was it the Nacra 17s again? Looks like F16 might have been a typo as there are no F16s registered for the event but a WHOLE mess of boats registered in the other classes. Jake Kohl

It is open to all F16 and will also have the N17 so a number of the Olympic hopefulls will also be missing Tradewinds to be in Miami I am sure. US Sailing pulled the same thing last year with the F16 event being at Clearwater

Chris and I will be there, and as usual, our C2 is for sale ;-)

Would love for the temp forecast to go up a few clicks, but it's gonna be great regardless. Heading out Wednesday for our looong 1500 mile drive down.
