One-Design Survey

Found this on the SA site. Looks like the Hobie 16 is well represented again.

Sure would be nice to have a 70+ 16 NAs in Iowa this year. You can make it happen!

I HATE the fact that the MC has had bigger turnouts at there big events. I have to listen to the MC sailors here at Clear Lake spouting off about how superior they and their boats are. Seems like a lot of money spent to go slow. The portsmouth between the MC and the 14 is close and we can beat them all day long head to head.
70 boats at Clear Lake should be easy, its the 100 number that get a bit tougher. Just remember, THIS is the CHEAPEST place you'll ever go to have a week long regatta at.
Those scow snobs can stand on their docks and watch all the action.

I am hoping to make it .It would be my first ever 16 nationals(excluding two Canadian Nationals).After sailing the boat for almost 30 years I think I am due.

Madge, Only 780 miles to the Daggerless regatta in Kansas City in May. Great tune up for your 16.

The way I drive that is about a three day trip for me.But you never no.Maybe I will hook up with some of the Minni. gang.

From Thunder Bay to Clinton, KS (mapquest) 839 miles, 13.5 hours we're just West of KC.

But hold on...Let's get this right, our "Frayed Knot" is the last weekend of April, not May. And much to the chagrin of many in Division 7 it is NOT the Daggerless event for 14's and 16's only(this year anyway). 2008 Daggerless is in Oklahoma City the following weekend.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Mike, the 16 sailors of D7 & D14 will hopefully see our event a good start to the season, as there are only a handful that will sail both 16 AND 20 NACs. We're hoping for a big turnout from both of those classes. This would give both Divisions at least two 20 warmups events prior to the NACs in June.

There is no chagrin to it, we're happy as hell its a full service hobie regatta. We got 20s that need practice.

Sorry about that...John is correct and yes, the Clinton Lake regatta near Kansas City is the last weekend of April. Having a Wessels moment. Can we introduce that into the American lexicon. Wessels moment = confused, disoriented, possibly homicidal. Mork moment = senile, prone to transposition.

Don't get me involved in your craziness. You're the one who has spouted bad information; and the only person may kill is you if you don't quit (censored) with me.

Like in the movie kingpin: "We don't want to get Munsen'd out here in the middle of nowhere."

I had a huge lead on the fleet before I Wesseled that last tack.

You are not a nice man and should think about how your sarcasm hurt other people's feelings.

Wow, thats really funny. Especially when I think of the fact I had chinese food last night a dropped a huge Mork into my Brogger this morning.

I can hardly wait for Bob to weigh in on THIS discussion.........

I am Sooooo proud of our leadership !!!!
