So did you find a trailer?

Think so. The trailer for Wicked 2.0 is in a shop in RI, getting some TLC. Hopefully, we'll be able to get BLUR north in the next few weeks.🤞

This is great! Looking forward to seeing Blur in Newport. DM if you need anything locally. I have a 6', 215 pound 14 year old son available for crew (when he is not with us) if you need an extra for tuning up. Best of luck!

Cool! Thats the better choice. There is a converted J/105 goose neck trailer up there, just siting and it's okay, but that one is a better choice. Sorry I have not been on this board in a while, I missed this whole thing. I almost wish I was still in RI so I could come by and say hello.
You should do J/111 Great Lakes Championships at Ugotta Regatta in Harbor Springs, Michigan. It is a half day sail south of Mackinac and has some of the best sailing conditions in the Great Lakes with a standard Westerly Sea Breeze of 12-16 knots. Quaint town with good regatta parties. Most of the Mackinac boats will be doing it and it should be the largest gathering of J/111s in the World in 2023 with 15-20 boats. 3 buoy races on Friday and then 1 Bay Tour race on Saturday and Sunday. Great marina in town there for pulling boats (Irish Boat Shop).
Registration is open for j/111 Great Lakes Champs Ugotta Regatta in Harbor Springs July 28-30 just 4 days after Chicago Mackinac and a half day sail from Mackinac. We should get close to 20 boats making it the largest J/111 regatta in the world in 2023. I hope you can join us. The regatta does sell out. https://yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=15520

We're looking into this. Crew is one thing. Getting hold of a decent set of OD-jibs another.
But we're working on it.
I can help you on both fronts if you need it. There is a local boat in Harbor Springs that has an arsenal of barely used OD jibs that they would probably charter you for a reasonable price that I could put you in touch with.

You could add the BYC Mackinac on 7/15, and others have mentioned Ugotta Regatta in Harbor springs. If I made the trip half way around the world, I'd do the full Great Lakes July schedule.
I don't think you'd have difficulty finding crew, or OD jibs (if you don't mind used).

Somewhat of a crisis here.
The boat and the newly renovated trailer are at Cracker Boy in West Palm Beach, FL, and I looking for an alternate solution to getting it to NEB, Newport, RI. Ideally, someone who knows the J/111, can load the boat, winterize the engine and do the transport (including permits etc).
If you can recommend someone, drop an email to [email protected].
