I think the CA folks crew may do a combined crew like last year too. I was speaking with Donna Polk Eggemoggin. They now have three J/30s in Marina Del Rey.

From LIS - what about:
Triple Play
High Heels
Boadicea
Ferriation
KNOT PHRFect (New owners on Hudson)


Corey Glynn "Hijinx" said he may trailer from Ontario

another idea is to let boats enter the competition and pay later....
That's how they did it in BIRW and it gave a big turn out....
Or at least have the option of seeing who is coming for sure /maybe /not

btw. Pale Rider is in..

I heard a rumour that Triple Play may indeed put in an appearance.

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

PS, Good Luck to Pale Rider a BIRW. WHK those were some wild predictions!

Yeah - I know. I took the horses with 50 to 1 odds in many of the classes. Hasn't worked out too well though...

John, as I said in my previous email to you and Carl, J.Doe will be looking for a loaner, and I will need a class legal jib so as soon as you know let me know... the sailmaker needs a little runup time. Thanks. Cyn

Even though I am a lowly bowman and my presence here is certainly unwelcome I know that Laser Beam (192) has had the event on our calendar since it was announced last September. That's 1 more CPYC boat.

Possible two from Eastern Great Lakes - Crusader and Blaze

What's the story on Launching ? Cost of trailering and Launch fee is an issue .

Let us know

Crusader

Dan,
Cedar Point will have a brand New 5-ton crane and hoist installed prior to the NAs in October. The crane is scheduled to be installed the week of August 10th. Rates have not been determined, but like I said in a previous posting the will be well below any commercial marina. I should have a definite price by August. I can't imagine the price to be more that $200. in and out. There's a good chance it will be allot less.

Rumor has now moved to the "might just happen" stage.
