[Alberg30] A30's in the New York / Ct./ N.J. Area

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

John,
Might you also be interested in the LI Sound NOOD regatta? Shawn Orr is
trying to find at least 6 boats to sign up in order to get a class start.
Check the list for his address and Email him if you are. I'm considering it
even though we're not even close to die hard racers. Apparently, minor
fluctuations from the "One Design" class rules are tolerated. At least I'm
assuming they will be since we boats up here don't have the closeness to
either of the classes homeports (Annapolis and Toronto). I think both the
rendezvous and the NOOD are worth persuing.
 We better be careful though. If it starts to appear like our 30 year old
class is becoming more popular, we may change the whole trend of boat
design. They may stop building those "modern" light weights that flip over
and loose their keels and break off their rudders and get holed if they hit
anything or even break in half if they take a wave wrong! If those boats
don't keep disappearing can you imagine how crowded the water will be? A
NOOD in the Larchmont area ought to be fun. What is the best ramming speed
anyway?
Excuse my indiscrection. I just got home from work, driving on the Long
Island Expressway at rush hour isn't fun!
Regards, Brian
