I believe son Dave will either be racing the N.60 or the Wave. He is welcome to use my Taipan.
I cannot sail as I will be the PRO.
And keep in mind (Seth comes to mind)that when we must group boats into an Open Class, we first group all boats. Then divide that group in half by DPN numbers. Last year the F16 fell into the slower group. Had we run them on the longer course, we would have had to wait and wait for the slower boats in the group, thereby holding up all the races.
Sorry about that, but it is true.
Best bet, be sure you have a fleet. And as you are doing here -- promoting a regatta and beating the bushes to get folks out -- is definitely the way to do it.
I went ahead and ordered the awards.., please don't let yourselves down.
Thanks
