I was imagining that we would all take our trailers down there. While its possible, I don't like the idea of motoring or sailing from SC to HMB in the Express.

:: :: I agree...I like the idea of putting together as many

:: :: one of my favorite places to sail. If we are going to
:: :: have our nationals down there, it would be very cool to
:: :: plan on having events on adjacent weekends down there as
:: :: well. More bang for the hassle of trailering the boat
:: :: back up.
:: :: 

:: :: -- 1st weekend.  feeder race to Monterey
:: :: 
:: :: -- 2nd weekend.  bouy races around Monterey/Stillwater.  Race to SC... this is likely to be a close fetch, so perhaps we would just make it a "cruise" or something.
:: :: 
:: :: -- 3rd weekend.  Nationals @ SC.
:: :: 
:: :: --race from SC to Monterey (I suppose this could even be the long-distance race for the nationals?).
:: :: 
:: :: -- 4th weekend.  races in Monterey/Stillwater area
:: ::
:: :: OK, perhaps this is a bit much... many folks may not be
:: :: able to do everything. but I think I would do all of
:: :: that, if we planned it.
:: ::
:: :: Anyway, just some more thoughts...

:: :: Mark

:: :: :: If we had the National in Santa Cruz it might be wise &
:: :: :: fun to plan a series of events down here in the Monterey
:: :: :: bay area which would help to offset the time and expense
:: :: :: of moving the boats. There the Dolphin regatta at MPYC
:: :: :: and the Santanarama held by Stillwater Yacht club out of
:: :: :: pebble beach which offer a great beach party and BBQ
:: :: :: plus sailing in one of the most beautiful areas of
:: :: :: Carmel overlooking point Lobos!
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Plus a potential down race from Santa Cruz to Monterey -
:: :: :: 22 Miles
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Just a thought!
