[C38] Nationals

[S Orton]

I also want to give Steve S kudos for his effort and much time spent on trying to organize nationals in the NW.  In critiquing the event, I personally believe a better response would occurred  if the event was held later in the summer.  Mid or late summer was when the event was held in the LA area, which I  attended four of the Nationals and Phil Gay sailed on my boat for two of them.  As I remember Phil was the organizer for three of the years when he was the Cat 38 Commodore.  The point being there are at least two more potential NW racers who would attend in the future.Cheers, Steve

    First I want to THANK Steve Smolinske
      for all the hard work he has contributed to try and organize a C38
      Nationals in the Northwest.  We have talked and he is willing to
      try again next year, working on a time with local skippers.   As
      we have learned, setting the time for the race is probably the
      hardest part as our folks are extremely busy!   What we do know is
      there is a viable fleet in the Northwest and hopefully there will
      be a date next year when they can come together.

      

      We will have a C38 Nationals this year in San Francisco.  I have
      been in conversation with the planning committee  (Dave, Bob,
      Kerry, and Anders) who have agreed to convert there Fleet race
      into a Nationals event.   They are scrambling to set this up,
      using Berkley Yacht Club as they were great to us last year.   I
      am certain we will be hearing from them shortly on times, race
      layout, etc.  

      

      For those folks in the Northeast!  I know we all would be very
      happy to see a Fleet activity there this year and organizing it
      would set you up for a Nationals Competition.   This is what we
      did in the Northwest, with a dinner a year or so back.   Let me
      know how I can help make this happen!

      

      This organization is only as successful as the members make it! 
      We owe all these folks for there dedicated, hard work, which we
      all benefit from in terms of name, respect, and value.   Thank You
      one and all, Past, Present and Future!    And..... Please if you
      can help out in your region and/or by contributing to the
      listserve discussion that help us all.

      

      Regards,

        Sad to say it looks official that we do not
          have enough boats for Nationals this year in Seattle, after
          talking with Chuck we still want to try to hold a race this
          year and will  offer it up to San Francisco if they can put
          something together in the time left.
