Ditto, barring any unforeseen scheduling conflicts Aquila would race non-spin (well, she would race spin if she had the equipment!)
We would have loved to race Great Pumpkin again this year (we had a blast last year, everyone owes it to themselves to enter this regatta!) however I will unfortunately be out of town.
As an aside, forgive my ignorance, but is the Estuary not considered the same body of water as the bay? I ask because it was my impression that the rules forbade racing Nationals twice in row in the same body of water. Not that I was necessarily looking forward to towing my tuna down to Monterey, I am just looking for clarification. Thanks!

Pariah would do the Encinal series if it's non-spin (except that the first one conflicts with another sailing commitment). I agree it would be a good way to visit the Nationals race track a few times.

Encinal Yacht Club has extended an invitation to the Santana 22 Fleet to participate in the Jack Frost series this winter, which will be run in the same racing area that the Nationals will be next summer. Applying the same logic that led many of us to sail the Sausalito mid-winter series last year, we might choose to accept Encinal’s invitation this year. We could agree to race spinnaker or plain sails.

We have 5 boats signed up for Saturday, so we get our own start - won't you join us? What looks like mellow buoy racing with spinnakers (based on wx forecast), followed by free beer and a fantastic party. Then wake up and go searching for pumpkins (perferably with yours or someone else's kids) in the Great Pumpkin Pursuit (race).
Go to www.richmondyc.org and follow the links.
BTW do we want to try for two winter series this year? Say Sausalito YC non-spinnaker (Sundays starting Nov 1), and Encinal Jack Frost spinnaker (Saturdays, around mid-month)?
