I agree with you Mike. The Ditch run was a really fun ride up the Delta. I don't understand why more boats don't come out and do it. Who would not enjoy 67.5 miles of downwind sailing in warm weather conditions. And then you can either drop the rig and trailer the boat home, or motor sail it back.

We used to get in the high teens for turnout on this event. Next year we need to show up the Moore24 fleet and get more boats out there.

So what is the next event we can get the fleet excited about?

Simpson regatta?

Summer Keel?

Maybe the Jazz cup?????

Chime and and vote for the regatta not to be missed!

Chers, Jason

:: Great run up and some awesome sailing. The fleet stayed
:: pretty close all the way (we had nice view from the
:: back) Great racing and lots of boats going fast...but
:: Will still going faster.
::
:: Glad to be out on the #51 again. I have great memories
:: of the boat but alway forget what a sweet ride she
:: really is. We (mostly me) were a bit rusty on Freak's
:: but more than compensated of my poor tactics with a
:: liberal application of suntan location and beer. Only on
:: the ditch run.
::
:: What next? When can we get 20 boats out before the
:: nationals for some fleet racing. Lets rally the fleet
:: for a big turn out at a couple events.
