[C38] Northwest C38 Nationals

[S Orton]

Hi Steve S,  What is the venue for the NOOD- a random leg buoy race?  The past 3 Nationals, we've raced in So. Cal, were windward/leeward races, where the windward buoy was adjusted between races to make it an exact windward/leeward venue.  This tests the boat handling skills to the max, with many spin sets jibs, etc.  Since I don't presently have a tested race crew in the NW, I need 4 weekends to work on spin handling with a new crew next year.  We won't be back into the NW until mid April and I can't get a boat/crew ready in just a few weeks- so count Santa Susanna out.  Unless, if the race venue is such sym spinnakers are not needed and asyms are only used, ie a code zero.  Cheers,  Steve O (Santa Susanna)

NW sailors,  I have been in contact with NOOD  and they would love to host the C38 Nationals in 2014 in conjunction with the Seattle Yacht Club in May http://www.sailingworld.com/nood-regattas .  We need a minimum of five boats for a class start, so far Myself, Phil Gay, Steve Orton, Peter Lagan, Paule Notte and Alden Anders have expressed interest.  I know there are a few more boats scattered around the area from Olympia to Canada, we need as many boats on the line as we can get.    This is a neat opportunity to get lots of press and publicity on a national level for our boats as Sailing  World will obviously be covering the event and writing lots of neat articles.  As well the more C38 boats we have the more fun the time together.  The dates of the regatta are 5/16-18.  If you haven’t committed yet please consider and let me know, Ill send out a separate email in a week or so to all interested so we can start nailing down logistics, course details  and dividing up responsibilities.  Again if you have a C38 in the northwest lets figure out how to get your boat to the line.  Steve#312 PeregrineSeattle
