For this years WRSC/CBYRA/CRAC/WRCRA Twilight Race after race party, the Nacra 20 Fleet will be sponsoring a Rum Squall (***). The race is in the Chesapeake Bay, approximately 30 miles total distance and has multiply mono-hull starts and a beachcats start.

Do the race in open class racing and if you have an A Class or a Nacra 20 be scored both in open class and one design. Then join us for free rum or for at least as long as it lasts. So far on the drinky list is Dark and Stormy, Mojitos, and the NASCAT (Mil. Best Light with a couple of shots of super cheap dark rum.) You won't need to show your Nacra 20 tattoo to partake, we accept everyone except we may charge the F16s like Little Duck. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Unless of course you see the error in your ways and crew for one of us. I had better stop now.

I saw something about dinner at 2000, but who really cares about thaaat.

(***) This term is stolen directly from the venerable Hobie Fleet 204 and their Madcatter event. Fleet 204 is a model Fleet.

Gosh Chris, sounds like a great time! When might be the date of this fine event? Where might I find a NOR? Inquiring minds want to know...
