Last weekend was a blast! Thanks to Jan, Pete and everyone else
who made it happen. Hopefully everyone else had fu= n as well, and
we can keep getting a big turnout for future fleet events.<b> Let's have
another Scombridae Sunday (or Saturday) or 2 while it's still warm and
the days are still long.<br><br>
I'd be open to a little spinnaker action next year. The boat came
with one which I haven't had up, and don't have the stuff rigged.
I'd mostly vote for whatever gets the biggest turnout.
Spinnaker? Non-spinnaker? Bouy races or longer bay tour
type races? Clipper Cove or central bay?<br>
I've raced in a bunch of different fleets over the years, most recently
Melges and J105's, but definitely digging the Santana 22 fleet. We
had a good regatta, but I give lots of credit to a sweet new main and a
"experienced" jib generously loaned by Jan (here's another
vote for measuring new sails in early-our new jib spent the regatta in
the trunk of my car) and a great crew.</b></div></body></html>
