=20
I didn't see a lot of positive responses to Kurt's query about who is =
coming to Newport this year. If you are on the fence, let me give you =
my perspective.
=20
We have only participated twice now, because we've only had the boat 3 =
seasons. I went up there the first year with a green crew and no =
expectations of doing well. I got lucky and picked up a couple of =
people form other Frers 33's to supplement my regulars. We had a blast! =
We even beat one boat overall. The turnaround in the crew was amazing. =
=20
=20
At home sailing PHRF, we tend to get a bit lazy at times and the =
competition is just not as intense since you can make all kinds of =
excuses for another boat beating you. In this one-design event everyone =
stepped up his/her game plan two notches. By the time we got home, the =
team was really psyched and our subsequent results showed it..
=20
We had the same response this year. About half of the crew had been =
with us the year before, there were a couple of "greenies" and 2 folks =
from other boats - one Frers and one not. I now have one really pumped =
up crew. We have a dozen people wanting to come along and that's =
without bringing in "special players". (Matt - you're a regular now, =
not a ringer!). =20
=20
This event is my single biggest crew builder. People love the venue - =
and the word gets out about that. They love the intense racing and the =
opportunity to race against really good sailors in the same boats. We =
had the same finish at Nationals last year as the year before - we beat =
one boat, but when you look at the progress we've made in other events, =
it's priceless.
=20
If you're thinking "we're not good enough", stop worrying. This is the =
best way to get better. These three days are worth a whole season of =
PHRF - maybe more. Besides, we have our own little race at the back of =
the fleet that's as intense as the group at the front.
=20
This event requires more logistics than most, that's true. But don't =
you owe it to your crew and yourself to mix it up with the "other" guys? =
When else does the LIS group get to tangle with the MA group?
=20
To the LIS group I'll offer that if we can agree on a transport =
schedule, we'll happily travel flotilla style so we can keep each other =
awake overnight via radio. To the MA teams I'll just say - we'll race =
you to Zelda's!
=20
I hope to see may of you out there this year!
