The 2009 North American at Cedar Point Yacht Club in Westport CT Website will be up in early July. The final revisions are be made to the NOR and entry form. Cedar Point is also negotiating some special pricing at a newly renovated local Hotel and will past the information along as soon as is available.

Ceder Point has order an 5-ton capacity jib crane and plans are to have it installed in the second week of August. With the new crane CPYC will be able to launch out of town J30s on their own trailers. Launching fees should be modest (below commercial rates). More details to follow. It's still a work in progress.

Loaners! A limited number of Loaners will be available. Please contact me ASAP if you are considering a Loaner. Rumors have it that there are already some private loaner deals made. Please confirm if a out of towns have made the own deal. Any local LIS J30 skipper interested in loaning the boat please let me know.

Add a few more LIS prospectives to the list;
Special Sauce, Fayerweather YC, Bridgeport
Bluejacket, CPYC
Youthful Indiscretion, CPYC
