Has anyone made final decisions on what they're gonna run at Nats ?

I think theres only one 1/8 class

I think you may be right.

[sailr]

Yep, I think you are right about that.

[obrien]

as of right now I have a spec tunnel and spec rigger. I am working on an LSO, but not sure if it will work. If all goes well, I will have an lsh too.

[hebner]

Wow I looked at the entry form and started checking the class boxes and clicked eight I would like to run in. All the Limited spec classes plus some others.

I just added P Mono. Total of 8 classes. C'mon guys. I just signed up.

We need to set up an 8th mile course at Akerman identical to the Waveblasters course and also put in an offshore buoy. We need to practice driving the same course as it's going to be at the NATS! We can coordinate with Ken if we need the exact measurements. We need some more buoys? Steve Hurl (sp?), prez at Brandon club owns an architectural foam company. He sells the buoys real cheap.

Now is the time to try to find a good hotel in Ft. Pierce for our group! Choose up roomates, etc. Last year we tried to find a place with the two bedroom suites and sleeper sofa but didn't find any. That is the best deal if we can find them!

[RayR]

Just shorten the straights from 330 to 220, the radius is the same.

If you can get those large foam bouys the guys in brandon use, grab em.

I'll contact the guy with the buoys.

Just a thought but gotta think having both boats there for trying to set new markers would be a good thing. That way you could use a preset length of string with one holding at the existiing marker and the other could go to the end of it then drop a new marker.

[sailr]

Good idea Bill. I have no way of hauling the other boat since my new van doesn'thave a top rack but maybe HighNDry can tie it to the top of his SUV? Obrien has the other trolling motor. We'd have to come up with an extra battery. Might also be a good idea to come up with an anchor for one of the boats?

[bill34207]

I have an extra battery (the one that powers my mobile charging station). Not sure of what we'd need an anchor for though.
