Hmm. I can't go with the incumbent team, too easy. I like Matt and Seth.

Patrick, nothing says it has to be a two-up boat. Why not the F31? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Brandon Wallace will be very tough. Is James sailing with him?

Too bad Matt Struble did not decide to participate, as my choice would be very easy if he had!

Yes yes, WF. We know. But I don't think Matt is looking to go slower than he has been lately. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Catsup, buddy. Brandon is sailing with Damon LaCasella on the F18 these days. Jamie only comes out of retirement when the black boat is on the water.

Did I see correctly....Nine teams from area D?

Have you guys forgotten who just won the F18 class at Lake Hartwell? You think Alex and Nigel won't be the team to beat?

Yeeeeaaahhh..but I need to clean that up. Two are the Hobie and Nacra teams (selected by the manufacturers, three are from petitions...It was up to the sailors to put in that information in the registration and it's not completely accurate. I'll clean up the origins of the teams to give a better picture.

Now that would be an Alter Cup. Heck just the parties alone would be worth the price of admission.

Hey, why can't you do an F31 two-up? People go around the world singlehanded on boats two or three times that size.

Might be a problem getting the manufacturers to supply boats and owners to loan boats. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

A two-up F31 means there's nobody making sandwiches (Grey Poupon?) and nobody to set the blender on "crush."

Flame on, you bus drivers! LOL!

Yes it's doable, but sometimes it is just more fun with more people. Besides yelling the same person over and over as fun as it is get's a bit stale. Sometimes it's good to mix it up.

Besides I kinda miss my leaner days where the rich skippers would put their trophy wives/girlfriend on the stern rail, never felt bad about letting them start in front. An F31 has a stern rail... doesn't it?

I actually wondered whether it couldbe done on the Sprint. No, do it on Farrier's new F-22. Someone call him about that! It would work wouldn't it? The cost is only about double that of a N20 these days.
