Don,

Being the voyeur watching this thread from the right coast, it's great to see the gauntlet thrown down for a challenge. Thanks for the enthusiasm and stirring the pot to get more J/30s out to race.

I'll up the challenge - get those boats on the line and have the victor represent the Pacific Northwest District at the J/30 North American championship next year (16-18 Sept 2011 - Annapolis, MD). The organizers can start early locating a loaner boat to support the PNW class if there is a commitment to attend.

ps - love your signature line....

Sail Fast!
