Aquamanics Race on 8/23

[sailr]

Count me in for LSH, the open class with my spec cat. Not sure about my P mono. Got problems with it. If I can get it fixed, count me in for that class as well.

This will replace our normal fun run in sarasota on Sep 20.

The rationale for a different thread is:

Why would you read a 14 page long thread if you are not a part of our group? The objective is to get some more guys.

Post already up on the RED board.

Ray,
I agree, since we now have a new club named the Aquamaniacs maybe we should ask the moderators at OSE to close out the old thread.

yep, close one of the other. Wish there was some way to still say 'west florida' on it. That's what will attract new members. Gotta get rid of the 'race on 8/23" though! ;-)

[sailr]

How about a totally new thread called West Florida Aquamaniacs? Then we can ask Steven to take down the other two threads?

I spoke with Don tonight. We will be able to run 3 classes. They took OPC off the registration list for now to get it back to 3 classes. We can run up to 8 boats per class. So now we need to decide what we want to run. If we want to run OPC then they will add it back to the list as one of the 3 classes.

[hebner]

I vote for OPC in honor of Herb Stewart but do we have enough for a class?

[obrien]

There may be a couple of OPC boats coming from the east coast, but I don't have a confirmation yet.

[sailr]

I totally agree with Hugh. I'm gonna do my best to have mine ready. Mike has one if he's able to go. Hugh and Ray also I think. That makes 4. In order to get as many people involved as possible I like Jeff's idea of the 'open' class for spec cats, sv27, etc. all together and LSH Spec Hydro for the 3rd class. Anyone else have comments please?

[obrien]

Sounds like Herbs son may bring a couple of boats, and he may have someone else coming. IT also sounds like we may have some east coast guys interested in running.

[sailr]

That would be great. Nice to see Jeffrey.

[obrien]

I spoke with Herb's son Jeff this morning. He is going to get back with me a bit later today, but he has a pair of OPC's to run and an LSH. He is going to bring his son to run one of the OPC boats. So I would say we have 2 good classes so far now. What other class should we look into running? He may also have a couple more guys to race with us. I will keep you updated as soon as I know.
