M'kay? Usually I do this as a disinterested third party with no real stake, but this time, in the interest of full disclosure, I admit I am hoping one team in particular does well this year. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That said: http://ussailing.org/championships/adult/USMHC/alter07/entries07.asp

Tough fleet as always - who will figure out the Blade quickly enough to deal with Matt and Gina's normal dominance of the F16 fleet? Who will display the qualities the Committee seeks when awarding the Darline Hobock Sportsmanship Award? Who will be the "do-bee" that gets the Golden Cat Key? Will the youth team do as their predecessors have done and embarass multiple adult teams? Will Mary Ann Hess's head explode if she touches a boat without a flying "H" on it? Who will get the Bob Bergstedt/John Williams award for sailing every race with a smile even while in 20th (aka, last!) place? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

These questions and more will be answered in next week's installment of "As the Catamaran Gybes!"

ps - still need willing souls Sunday and Monday to help assemble boats. Come for the fun, stay for the beer (on me). <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
