Happy sailing weekend everyone.
Quick Statue Race update:
With one month to go till July 2, we have 60+ boats preregistered. There's a good mix across all classes, especially H16, F18, Inter20 and even two Reynolds 33...
There's two good parties planned and we have a couple of friendly sponsors (ever heard of Duvel beer?)
You can save some $$ and help us plan for logistics, goodies etc by preregistering on the event website.
The current race record is 2h45min established in 2003 on a Nacra 6.0 NA (Rick Bliss & Brandy Woods). The course back then turned out to be a straight reach round-trip.
Will the R33's brake the record this year?
PS - there is also the Ambrose Lighthouse fun distance race, the day prior to the Statue Race - so July 1st.
How can we see who's pre-registered?
Thanks!
I'm in...
we wanted to bring the F31R down, but some friends envited us to Monhegan Island for the week. Tough call. Just got back from NYC and a tourist trip to the SoL. What a place that is!
Hope you all have fun.
Looks like I'll be crewing on the SailMax.biz Reynolds 33!
Jake - lucky you!
Trey - good stuff...that's the spirit...
Looking forward to meeting all of you.
One thing:
It seems that the F18 will be the biggest class this year. It is usually a contest H16/N20.
Hey, it is up to you to make your favorite class the biggest!
