Title: Charleston Practice day (Thursday)
Post by: Brad Boston on March 30, 2010, 12:10:53 PM
I am wondering if anyone would like to tune up on Thursday with us. We will be out sailing pretty early and would like to do what we did in Miami. We sailed most of the day making sure everyone was up to speed before the regatta started.  On the water if you have any questions feel free to ask..If you are interested lets plan and make this a worth while practice.

Sounds great to the Crew of #55. We were planning on being out there early also.
Let me know the plan. Thanks Brad.

My boat is actually getting there on Monday and practicing Tuesday and Wednesday as well. I have a crew who have never sailed Vipers before. A tune up on thursay would be great, count me in. Any chance of a few practice starts?

At the moment we do not have a power boat and driver but let's see what we can come up with.

If we can borrow two marks and someone brings a whistle, we don't need a mark set boat.  Anyone got connections to borrow a couple of floaties?  I'll bring the whistle :)

Hey Guy's,
We will be in the water sailing out of the marina in the morning. We will be out sailing near our course and will hook up with anyone that would like to tune. If we can we will do a bunch of starts to get everyone comfortable with that but the main priority should be speed.  (I will bring a mark out with us)

See you there on the water.

My Cell is (519) 384-2361 if you would like to talk before or after.
