Any idea when the fleet schedule will be complete?
Some dates announced for some other races, typically not on schedule,
we plan on doing:
Crewed Farallones-May 9th (last yr date, prob same weekend) if
schedule same as last year it's between Vallejo and the Elite Keel. I
plan to do this race this year.. Great way to get more people/crew
out around the islands as obviously only two can go in March for DH
Farallones.
Spinnaker Cup-May 27th....we are doing this. It's a lot of work
getting the boat ready to go again for the Ditch Run a week after on
June 4th but totally worth it. I would love more people to do this.
Amazing wildlife down the coast, Ano Nuevo, and in Monterey Bay. The
people at MYC are about as nice as they come.
Midnight Moonlight-July 16th....great race last year. I think it was
just us and Nick. Highly recommend people come out for this race. I
think Nick had maybe 3-4 15-16 yr olds on his boat last year and he
won overall if I recall. Think about it. I might be out of town but I
would be shocked if Abigail isn't on the line.
Coastal Cup-May 29th-June 1st......we have been wanting to do this
the last three years but lack of boats two years ago cancelled it and
impossible to do it if they want to overlap it with the Ditch Run. We
are probably out in favor of Spin Cup/Ditch Run. If a few Expresses
showed interest that could change my mind.
Duxbury Lightship-7/25 was last years date (not announced
yet).....wanted to do this last year but overlap with the CYC OD.
Will do if no conflicts but committed to fleet schedule first. If you
surf Bolinas this is not a bad way to get a different perspective.
Guessing this is a non-starter but we see.
Windjammers 9/4-9/6....this is during a hole in our schedule last
year so if looking for something to do this is an option. I'll
probably be too lazy to enter. Good play would be to do this race and
then rent a house in Santa Cruz for a few days. That's what I would
do....weather dependent.
Other races I have an interest in doing would be the Trans-Tahoe or
the Double Dammed. I'm pretty busy though so not sure this is the
year. I didn't look either up but if the fleet shows interest I would
do my best to try and add to the numbers.
Any interest?
