Ken will we need numbers on our boats?

Boat Numbers

Hi Jeff,
Don't worry about numbers on the boat. I did know one race organization that required it. I'm not sure why it would ever matter, it's not like you could read the number when the boats in the water. Anyway no number required for any class.
If someone reading this post can explain what the number does for the event I'm curious and would like to know. Maybe there is a good reason that we just haven't realized yet. Good question.
See you next weekend,
Ken

I think he was referring to NAMBA member #

NAMBA Member number

Sorry if I misunderstood, but don't worry about a NAMBA member number on the boats either.
Obviously we will check all your NAMBA Member cards at the sign in.
If you do not have one we will need the $10 single event race mebership fee or be able to verify the number prior to the event.
This is a sanctioned event, so we will send those fees to NAMBA immediately following the event.
Thanks, Ken

I'm coming over but don't know if I'll be able to race. Bad back! BUT I will bring some raffle prizes with me!

It's in the NAMBA rules as I recall. But it is a silly requirement in my opinion.

I reserved a room at the Best Western for Saturday night. Two beds and only one of me. Willing to share the room if anybody needs one. Split the cost. PM me!

I will be bringing a bunch of props with me to sell. Quite a few sharpened and balanced. Look me up at the race. Prices will be right!
