Just a reminder that the Larchmont NOODs are coming up September 10-12.  

I am volunteering to coordinate our class for this event since Kurt handled the Nationals, and this event is not in his immediate region.

Can we get a count of who is planning on going this year?  Brilliant is in, and I understand Bon Coeurs is as well.  We have quite a number of boats on the Sound, and the Larchmont event is a great opportunity to show the sailing community that this class is alive and well, as well as having a great time racing.  Let's see if we can surprise everyone with a large turn-out.

I understand that in the past, the Frers-33s only sailed Sat & Sun.  Last year I hear that the best sailing was on Friday. Of those planning to attend, what's the chance of adding Friday as well.  I don't want to do this if it will cost us entries, but it increases the chances of good sailing time so may be worth the effort.  Optionally, we can try to arrange with the organizers that a partial class sails Friday, but those races don't get counted in the final results - we can use it as practice.

If you are thinking, "I'd like to go, but I don't have enough crew", let me know and we'll start helping you beat the bushes.  There are folks from MD to MA who would be interested in crewing, so let's leverage that.  Personally, for the Newport I was lucky enough to get crew from two other Frers-33s and it was a tremendous benefit to learn how things are set up and done on the other boats.

Please send me your responses as early as possible so we can make this a banner event.

Thanks,
Art Kelley
