Hey, maybe in 2013 we can do it in Seattle!


I think that's part of this discussion! smile

But anyway,


Here's what I think!

2012 We can schedule it in Panama City(to move it around) and then 2013, do it at Roton Point. By that time, there should be enough of a fleet spread out that there should be a decent showing, ~15 boats. You can't have a blow out Nationals every year. Don't forget, the F18's only had 27 or so at their Nationals only a couple of years ago.

Just make sure the organizing authority(or whom ever it is) aware that it might be a small turnout, ~15 boats.


I do think 2012 would be too soon to have it there though, especially since the Nationals where in Maryland in 2011. smile

The fact of the matter is, some people AREN'T going to travel. Especially, if it costs a lot in fuel, vacation and other stuff.

Ok, so is this discussion done?

If so, I think we need to do a poll!

Roton Point? I'm down for that! With young children, a full time job and a wife who runs a 7 day a week business it's impossible to get away. I can make time for a major regatta that's only a few hours away. I wish I had time to hook up with all you guys for the big regattas down south. It would make me a better sailor. I can appreciate the time, effort and money most of you guys expend to attend these regattas. Light wind must totally piss you off!
