Wow Gorge, M24 raced their at HR.

Nice to have a local connection.

There are photos on the site to help with rigging. And I'm sure some fleet members can offer photos.

Better yet, put yourself on a plane and travel here for some regatta.

I'd just advertise crew available, Resin Regatta for example, and hitch a ride. See all the top boats.

Many regattas to chose from.

:: I just recently purchased Hull#87 Monster Express and
:: the boat will be located in the Gorge - Hood River OR.
::
:: It's close to stock and I know that I'm looking at
:: making some key "go fast" changes - Backstay adjustment
:: point, adjustable Jib Leads are two that will be my
:: first upgrades.
::
:: Any insight/pictures would be great. Most sailing here
:: in the gorge will be with the #3.
::
:: I'd like to do it close to right the first time!
::
:: Once dialed, I look forward to travelling to some of the
:: key races.
