Hey Philip,
I'm in for 9 or so.Let me know if you get anywhere. I talked to some manager type at REI and they said they didn't think they would get anymore in, but that was as far as I got.
Now that you've got a boat and all ya need to come do this race. We used to race through the same fleet on the old Chesapeake 100 , and it was a blast using the big monohulls for a slalom course. Plus there is this little itty bitty party when you get there. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> So come on and do it and bring some others with ya.
Todd

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
