Absolutely, The fastest way to learn what make these boats go is to come and join the crowd. You’ll find we like to talk about what is working and why and we are always talking about how to build the fleet. Just keep an eye on this board and also call the western lakes hotline for regatta/ice updates. 608-204-9876 ext 5. This is updated regularly by the regional commodore, Ken Smith… Regards Title: Re: new sailor--Regional Championship: March 13-14 Post by: DN 5449 on March 10, 2010, 07:09:34 PM Being totally new to this ,I was wondering when to expect a decision on the regatta site?

Do come, it is a hoot! Adam Title: Re: new sailor--Regional Championship: March 13-14 Post by: DN 5449 on March 11, 2010, 07:27:38 AM Just waiting to here about the location,if it is reasonable drive I should be able to make it.
Title: Re: new sailor--Regional Championship: March 13-14 Post by: John Davenport on March 11, 2010, 09:47:33 AM Most of us just load-up and wait to hear which direction to point the car. Typically, the hotel info will be posted and some reduced rate negotiated by the locals or regatta chair. Then we all show up from different directions and have a great weekend...
Once you get over the idea of needing to know exactly where you are headed days in advance, it's just another great roadtrip.
