See you in Monterey Nathan.

:: Two crew is indeed a lot more work.
::
:: As much as I'd like to join the other class boats,
:: missing out on the doublehanded practice
:: (equipment/procedures check) would probably be a mistake
:: leading into the Coastal Cup.
::
:: I don't see anything to prevent a double-handed crew in
:: MORA (unless the SI's will forbid it), but unfortunately
:: that division isn't allowed to use an autohelm, which
:: will be a big help in gybes.

:: :: 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).

:: :: :: :: :: Elise will be there (doublehanded).

:: :: :: :: Hi Nathan:

:: :: :: :: Are you planning to race in the doublehanded division?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Ideal crew is 3 - 4 for this race, can you swing one
