It's that time again. The Duck Cup will be held on June 13 and 14 at Nor'banks sailing in Duck. Those that have been before will attest this is one great venue and one great race. If you travel over 10 miles to get to the race(or even if you don't) your entry fee will only be $5 per day. The most affordable distance racing on the planet.
Here's the NOR:

ALL multihulls invited.
Come on out and have a blast and maybe a beergarita or two.

I'm in! Looking forward to some beergaritas. How about it VA Beach and Wilmington sailors? Rumor has it that some of the SC crowd might even make a showing. I'll believe it when I see it, but that's what I was told on the deck of Stingray's in Tybee.

Derek,
Glad you are coming back again. This is a really fun race at a great location.
2 semi challenging distance races in protected waters starting and stopping at the same location. Lori's Beergaritas will be around all weekend!! We almost got to 30 boats last year, lets get there this year. Please contact me anytime if you have any questions about the Duck Cup.

Tried to catch you on the phone but was unsuccessful. Is there any camping on-site or near-by?
Thanks

Jon,

Renee and I will be there to defend the DUCK CUP !

Thanks for hosting a great event !

I'll be there. This race was a blast this year. I know at least one of the Wilmington (junkyard crew) guys are coming, it may be 2-3.

Had a lot of fun last year, but won't be able to make it. Hope everyone has a great time!

All multi-hulls invited. Waves with fancy sails, waves with plain sails.Getaways, F-16s, f-18s Hobie 16s and14s, A cats, Weta trimarans, F boats, isotopes,all sizes of nacras and prindles have all done this race in the past. Even Hobie 20s, Jack. So EVERYBODY come on out , if you don't you'll be missin' out on a great weekend.

I guess I can't turn down a personal invite. I'll have to make some arrangements and may need a crew....

Hmm, Waves too? If I can finagle my schedule. This truly is a good water and usually good wind place.

Where are boats kept overnight?

On the grass rigging area that looks like a golf course. Jon has a rental operation that we pretty much storm the castle on for the weekend. On that note some boat charters may be available, you'd have to contact Jon at the link provided.
Why not the FX-1?

Discovered some trailer probs and then discovered more trailer probs and those aren't fixed yet. Then discovered shroud probs and other wire problems and those aren't fixed. Plodding along.

It takes quite a bit of patience to maintain these boats and you have to like doing it; and the jet skis look so easy and so tempting...

JJ,

Where in NC are you I might be able to double stack your boat for you. I live in Wilmington, NC. I can also get your rigging from my teammate Mike at Layline.

Duck is a great venue, and Jon is a great host. I hope you get a big turnout.

Crap, that's the same as Reaggae isn't it? I probably can't do either so it doesn't really matter but I am still tryin' to work out a plan.

I enjoyed the Duck Cup last year (despite the myriad of boat problems I had) and whish I could make it again. Unfortunately I have a conflict with the SJ21 Nationals. Good luck to those of you who go - have fun!

Regards,
Eric

I'd rather have your conflict than mine. I found out today that I have to work that weekend.

On a positive note, that's one less boat that Todd will have to worry about correcting over him. Good luck to all that go, it's worth the trip!

Work? I didn't know you had to work.
Correction, smorrection it's all about the line, baby.
We'll miss y'all.

Derek is pulling a Mosley this year....

BTW Todd, my Avatar is me rolling you like a soft taco in Bokeelia
