The 2006 A-Class North American Championship will be hosted by the Bristol Yacht Club in Bristol, RI September 10-15 with racing on Narragansett Bay.

Measurement will take place on September 10-11 and racing begins on September 12. The plan is to run 3-4 races per day and hopefully end up with a series of 12-14 races. The current head count is between 35-40 boats.

There will be a couple of new Geltek Flyer II's debuting at this event. One will be sailed by Ben Hall and one will be sailed by Phil Kinder. In addition, past North American champions Lars Guck and Pete Melvin will be racing on A2 platforms. It should be a great series with a full schedule of off-the-water socializing and dinners.

We will try to post updates every night on the US class website at www.usaca.info.
