:: :: (equipment/procedures check) would probably be a mistake

:: :: I don't see anything to prevent a double-handed crew in

:: :: :: Hi Nathan
:: :: ::
:: :: :: If you're planning a shake down for the coastal cup,
:: :: :: please consider sailing with at least three on Monterery
:: :: :: for MORA crewed qualification, knowing four crew is
:: :: :: ideal four coastal cup.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Then again, if you really want to go with two, you''re
:: :: :: doing something I have absolutely no interst in because
:: :: :: two crew is way too much work and cudo's to yuu.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: If your really having trailor problems contract me at my
:: :: :: e-mail directly.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: At this time Desperado on Tule Fog is overbooked with
:: :: :: crew and I can refer you to at least two others.

:: :: :: :: The intent is to sail the race doublehanded as a
:: :: :: :: shakedown for the Coastal Cup.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: The main difficulty at the moment is the trailer
:: :: :: :: (scrambling to get Elise's ready after discovery of some
:: :: :: :: serious rust problems in a few of the verticals).
:: :: :: :: 
:: :: :: :: -Nathan
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: :: Elise will be there (doublehanded).

:: :: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: :: :: What boats are planning on attending the Spinnaker Cup
:: :: :: :: :: :: :: this year? For some weird reason it did not get put on
:: :: :: :: :: :: :: the calendar. Can we get five boats to the line for?
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: Hi Nathan:
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: Are you planning to race in the doublehanded division?
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: Ideal crew is 3 - 4 for this race, can you swing one
:: :: :: :: :: more and race in MORA against other crewed boats?
