[C38] Nationals

Thu Apr 17 04:04:26 EDT 2014

when I was commodore I put together one nationals but was unsuccessful 
in getting enough boats for a NOOD regatta in San Diego. I found it 
difficult putting a Cat 38 fleet together under the pressure of a NOOd 
regatta.  Only the people who have tried to put one of these regattas 
together know how much wok is involved. These are the things that keep 
our fleet alive and in the spotlight. This helps to hold up the value of 
all of our boats. All I can say is good luck but do not expect much in 
the way of help from most of the fleet.  Joe/Macavity
