This thread's purpose is to collect ideas from the fleet regarding next year's North American Championship.

Question 1: Who is considering racing in New Orleans next year?

Question 2: For those tentatively planning on attending, who would bring their own hull vs. requesting a loaner boat.

Question 3: HYPOTHETICAL If we raised enough sponsorhip dollars to fund the shipment of boats plus free winter storage from their home port to New Orleans, how many more boats would participate?

Question 4: What changes would the fleet like to make next year. Any ideas are welcome. Example: More on the water judges.

Our goal is 20 boats or more. We have already heard from one Annapolis boat about potentially racing next year. We are excited to host next year's North Americans. The NOR is expected to be released by October 18th, 2011.

Cheers,
Ken and Dave
