I probably shouldn't vote because I'm iffy at best about making it. BUT, I would prefer a 3 day event because I would have to schedule a visit to my grandfather before or after the race and 4 days would take too much out of the visit. Besides, I prefer to get there a day early to set-up and practice.

Usually after three days, you know who's going to win - provided that you don't lose any days to weather.

Four days gives you some breathing room if there's a bad wind day.

I'd rather three, though - I only have to take three days vacation then (drive Thursday, sail F-S-S, drive Monday).

Yes, that is exactly what I mean! You'll have a good time, the wind will be there, alot of boats and hopefully with enough practice, some of us might give you a run for your money.........

Mike, you HAVE to get a 14 and come to this. We're expecting you to bring the beer! Like you said before, we don't have REAL beer here, so load up on Labatts, and we'll see you in Oct.
Don't forget the Area Champs in Yankton either, its going to be HUGE.

Hope to see you this summer
