Hi:

About the CYC midwinters . . . I actually like to sail in larger fleets . . . even if they're not e27's.

We can sail as a fleet within a fleet . . . and still get fleet trophies.

The last couple of years the CYC RC slipped us in with Wylie Cat 30's . . . because, apparently, some of the SF 30 fleet refuse to sail against both e27's and Wyluie 30's..

If we have 5 27's and there are 5 Wylie 30's . . . maybe we could team race as two fleets on fleet . . . just an idea . . . something different . . . the two designs are fairly equal in speed.
