Andy, I'm much of your thinking and intend to do as you say on my up coming Victoria. San Antonio is a Victoria stronghold so I figure I'm silly not to take them seriously. By the way, I've already got the CF mast waiting on the boat. It will never see the aluminum one.

Tuesday night I'm going to take the Seawind out and race with the ODOMs. Be my first, so I'm just going to practice getting around the course and staying out of everyone's way. Maybe I can shake some more Seawinds out of the woodwork. I'm planning on having a lock on last place but I don't care. I'm after fun not glory.

Would like to see some pics of your Vic, Andy.

October our club here is having a BIG Regatta. Check it out here. Come if you can.
