Hi All - I have put up a bunch of new information on the North Americans website so please go there! http://www.j30.us/na2010

Of Note:
- A number of people have asked about bottom cleaning - there is now a signup under the Logistics page. I have a very good and reasonable bottom cleaner but we want to make sure he gets to everyone that needs a cleaning so we want yout to sign up and we will schedule a cleaning when you arrive. This will cut down on the number of people he has to communicate with as well as we will know what mooring you are on.
- There are still a few great rooms at the BYC available - contact Patricia @ 781-631-3100
- We have 13 boats registerd and I know of a bunch others that are coming but have not signed up so please sign up!
- We have 4 great comedians signed up to entertain us on Friday night. May not be appropriate for young children FYI.
- We need at least 1 loaner boat so if you are in our region and would be willing to have your boat raced by a top notch outfit (Zephyr) please let me know ASAP.

Cheers and please make a plan to come to the North Americans.

Any further updates David? The list of entries link isn't responsive on the NA site-we are ready to commit, but I would love to see that a good fleet will be assembled before I start nailing down all the logistics.

Any rooms left at the club?

Hey Steve - not sure where you were clicking - all the links seem fine. Here is the URL to the list of entries just in case http://j302010.wufoo.com/reports/z5p8w2/ .

I think all the rooms are booked - you will have to call the club to make sure. 781-631-3100 ask for Patricia.

I will be putting more info up this weekend - including payment stuff.

David - I just paid the 2010 NA registration online and the process works great.

Question: What is the cutoff date for ordering extra Fri and Sat night meal tickets?

Thanks,

Last week of July. But would like to know as many as possible prior to that for planning.
