Greetings all-

So, I think it would be great to elect some new folks to govern the PNW fleet and folks that represent the interests of the B.C., Washington, and Oregon contingent. When I offered to fill the role, it was a.) to fill the role in lieu of no one else and b.) when I expected to have more time to dedicate to this.

Since then, there's been some great activity in the community and as an owner and supporter of OD racing of J/30s, I'm thrilled to see it. Further, between Don (Vampire) and Grady (Slingshot), they have clearly invested a bunch of time helping to coordinate a truly international racing calendar and really have things going in a great direction.

Therefore - I think it's time to pass the baton and in order to make this happen, there needs to be an election. So, please take a few minutes to vote in the poll and let your voices be heard!



Thanks! - Jeff

That looks like a ballot written like a true politician!

Hehe. Well, full disclosure? I'm in marketing... ;-) Not far removed.

BTW - is Natural High a J/30 that was on the market in Seattle about 4 yrs ago? If so, I looked at it about the same time we bought ours. Very clean boat! Hope you're enjoying it.

I'm voting for the duck.

Aww, I wanted to vote for just Don!

I would suspect that it was. I bought it off a fellow in Nanaimo that only had it for a year and he brought it up from Seattle.

Yes it is very clean inside; I am very happy with that... Don wouldn't let his wife on board mine for fear of new demands!

Hmm seems slow on the voting front.

Hello !

I voted!

so when does the official polling station close?

I would say one month is more then fare. We are coming up to our first large event and we only have 3 J30s going so far.

Speak now or hold your tong later

I say we close it!

(sorry for the slow response... Been offline a bunch with a new baby in the house born a couple weeks ago. Nothing like creating your own crew!! That's 3 boys now... Can't wait to watch the fights over positions onboard.)

I'm going to close the poll now and based upon current results, it looks we'll have some strong new co-leadership in the PNW! That is GREAT news.

Thanks.
