Hi John, I was GREAT to meet you the last week and you are truley a fantastic PRO and made the event on Charley really fun and we appreciate your working it.
I love the Wave, you all know that, and I think it solves most of the problems we (all of us) have with numbers, crew, age and $$$ and will continue to beat the drum on the 'tupperware' boat. Someone asked my the other day if I have to 'burp' my boat before I take it off the beach.
While I am the class chair this year, I don't necessarily love all the rules for which I am asked to abide by, but I am certainly aware of both sides of the coin in regards to the Wave. In private emails from people I don't know, I have been told in capital letters (I assume yelling!) that we're wrong and they're right and blah blah blah......
I am with Mimi, its too bad we didn't have the IWCA there (I wanted them there, I really did) but maybe sometime down the road a-piece, after we actually put a group of racers together, we can all meet on the course and have a smackdown. The boat is fun, and we should enjoy it and not get hostile about any of it. I think the IWCA is a good deal and I hope they continue to grow, just allow me (us) to do the same. I hope to bring some Waves to Indiana next May, maybe we'll see you there.]
