[Public-List] Forestay attachment fitting

[Glenn]

Andre,

That's great!  Ill go , just need to do the offshore qualifier.  You have the advantage of being local there in the bay area and can take advantage of the seminars and race prep assistance from the group.  So Far as I know all the Alberg owners  on the West Coast are on the list. One or two others have mentioned going in 2014 so maybe they will comment.  
 It would be great to have three or four A 30's in  the race.  Very exciting.
