Ok it is official. We will have a start in the NOODS provided we get the 6 required boats. We have 4 committed already! I spoke to the race organizers and the race committee chairs (also happens to be race chair at my yacht club) and they will have a line for us.
Interstingly enough they said they could possibly score us PHRF so that we could have any configuration of J/30's race. This may be good for this year and then next year after everyone has had a blast make it based on the stricter OD configurations.
This would slightly diminish the value of racing OD but at least we would have our own start and it would help kick-start the OD racing here.
Thoughs?
