Shaping up to be another beauty!

Currently 44 entries - some stats...

- 'ONE' IRC entry. Does this signal the end of IRC?

- More non spin than spin entries.

- Fleet is led by Beneteau entries with 5, then 4 Pearsons, 3 Catalinas, 3 Hunters, 3 C&C, there is one JBoat entered. Does this signal the end of JBoats?

- Will the Melges 24 hold together and keep its time on the Pearson 30?

Get Psyched!

Robbie Lager (sp?) tried that 17 years ago.....never forget them looming out of the fog and crossing our stern in LIS....only to see them re appear further aft going the other way an hour later. RL was like a zombie afterwards muttering never again repeatedly into his beer. good times

About the same good idea as trying to take a Ker 11.3 to Bermuda I guess.
