[C38] Nationals

[Steve.Ribble at gmail.com]

I have to agree with David on this one...the minimum number for a fleet in  
any race that I've sailed in is three, and if we have three the corinthian  
side of "us" should move forward and hold the race(s).

Whether its the size or age of our fleet, or the geographic dispersion and  
logistical dificulties associated with the C-38 group, we are going to  
continue to to have a difficult time assembling more than a few boats at  
any given place...sad, but true. And somehow I think, judging by the  
activity here and in the Mainsheet, our collective lack of demonstrated  
support for our beloved toys is more than a logistical issue (for the  
record: yes there are a dedicated group that faithully and frequently  
utilize the listserv...but if you do the math it seems like a very small  
percentage of the entire group). If the races are not held, then we all  
cave to apathy. However, if those with the ability to be there or to share  
your boats with others that might be willing to come (given a berth for the  
night and a pint of grog) will go forward and champion the spirit of the  
fleet, then perhaps, little by little, we can bring life back to the fleet  
and our boats can sail on for another generation.

Of course, this is all easy for me to say; I'm not in a position to make  
the 3000 mile trip...but I need to live vicariously through those of you  
who can. Heck, I prepped all of April and May and launched on June 14...and  
she's been out of the water for repairs since July 10. I can't tell you how  
much I would like to have the opportunity that so many of you have.
