I dunno guys. The distance stuff is really not my bag and it's hard to get away from the family for a racing holiday in the summer.
I would entertain the idea of crewing for someone at J-Fest for now or maybe heading over for Maple Bay as suggested earlier in the thread.
Can I convince any of you to come to the WAVES weekend at RVYC?

What is the date? and how many J30s go? It looks like its close to Jfest? and if you can't get away that kind of defeats the idea of some coming north to have boats go south as well.
Dominque you should come out to the races with the other J30s and leave RVYC behind. then you would not have the issues with all those cooked up PHRF boats in Div 3.

The 2011 WAVES dates have not yet been announced, but the 2010 dates were June 26-27, the week after Jfest. I doubt they would ever directly conflict. Too many J/Boats sailing in local fleets.

As for not racing at RVYC... well it's my club and the races generally start only a few hundred metres from my slip. To be honest it's about the only regular racing I can get to. I'm not about to bail on my own club.
Don, where are you sailing out of?

I'd love to come out to some races next season. I'm moving my boat to Semiamhoo next spring, which races are the closest? I have young kids 4,5 and 8 so the long races are out of the question. Dominique how old are your kids? Do they come out with you?

I did not mean leave your club. Just come out to some events so we can get a class and you stop getting axe murdered by boats like LRT that have rediculus ratings. I sail out of Point Roberts this year till i have to move in the spring. I am the fleet Capt here. and same as you only 5 min to the race course and very inxpensive compared to RVYC. two j29s and me and a j35 in div one.
I even have boats up in your fleet. I am shure you know Frank and Joe on Jasmina. thats a PRYC boat and so is Gem the Farr 40.

Great we will at least have the spring too play. IYC would be your weapon of choice in Blain. They are a Canadian Club but half the boats are BC/Washington.
I can email you there race schedual for 2011. Terry and I are now deciding dates for our BARC events. and I hope you take the time to come to point Roberts and race as well.
I do the spring and normally the fall series over in the bay, and then the three long distance races (20miles)

Patrick Why Semi and not Point Roberts? our racing program is more intense and we are closer and less expensive. Where is the boat now? have you raced her yet? if i leave in the spring to Vancouver island i may have some J30 junkie crew for you. the like beer and love winning. http://www.pointrobertsracing.com check us out and for international YC in Blain. http://www.iycbc.ca/but PRYC is ten miles closer to the cruising grounds and the islands
