Camp Hatteras NC Regatta

August 23 ,24. This is a great place for a race. Just heard a rumor that ncbm will be there with his fraken 18.

WHERE at Cape Hatteras? DUCK ... KITTYHAWK ... RODANTHE ... SALVO ... AVON ... BUXTON .... Hatteras ....

That sandbar isn't very wide but it sure is LONG

I would like to see that H18 on Styeriods and it is a very pretty boat ... to pretty ... so I do have to mention that Mr NCBM maybe in copyright violation!!!!

Mr George Kuney (and Susan Blumgardner) of Fleet 416/Div11 are the Owners/Crew of the H18 "Frankenboat" and their back-up boat "Spawn of Frankenboat" ... and their back-up set of hulls "Daughter of Frankenboat"

Frankenboat has NINE portholes for various repairs and requires special dispensation to compete in the North Americans ... she suffered catastrophic front crossbar cradle collapse late last year and maybe at this point beyond repair (she did finish 4th at the 07'H18NA's!)

"Daughter of Frankenboat" had her port bow crunched/spliced/patched
from a donor hull of a slightly different color ... the stitches show ....

I hope he really shows I have been trying to get him down here to see what it can do . I think he prefers to drift around in lakes.

Thats enough! I have crew secured, Genmar has offered sleeping space, Kyle provides food, I just need permission from the spouse to spend the money on gas and entry. Got 2 new spins for her, both prototypes, that I really want to check out. One is standard F18 and the other is a flatter cut that I hope will carry upwind if its light. Both are blue and will look great in front of my smoke main and white jib. I believe its not how you sail but how you look doing it thats important
