You need a race committee and rules and a course with a race boat for start/finishes.  Add that we usually have tee shirts and other paraphernalia and of course the national trophy and you see why this is a bigger deal than it looks! This race was held in Southern CA for years, but the competition gradually thinned out to about the same 5 boats year after year until even those petered out.  We then held it twice in SF during Americas Cup and then tried to move to the Northwest, but they couldn't field the fleet.  Last     year was San Francisco, but as I stated earlier they had conflicts.  It really takes about a year to gear up for one of these and the reason we likely will be in SF this year is they have all the above mentioned ingredients settled and there are at least 10 C38s in the bay.
> All that being said, if a group of C38s can get it together I am more than happy to move Nationals!  Please recall that our intention was to move it from location to location in order to involve more of our membership!  So, if you can get this together, please submit a proposal to me (charles at finn.ws) and we can begin the process!
