<DIV>Thanks for taking the lead on this. Sounds like a great event.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Count 963 in. Our only request would be that either Dave or I be onboard if we have a guest driver on our boat.</DIV>

<DIV style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 18px">The goal is to share information. By placing experienced guest skippers on different boats and changing crews, we can share different techniques and compare how the boats feel, with the goal of making everyone faster and more competitive.</DIV>

<DIV style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 18px">As I have jumped from J22 to J22 this year, I've learned I do NOT like auto-ratchets on my spinnaker and skippers tacking techniques vary greatly. In addition, I've found some boats are better balanced than others and, when skippers have wanted to pull the guy on the spinnaker set, I've shown them a different technique (one I learned from Jon Noller) that permits the skipper to drive, look for puffs and LEAVE my chute alone!<BR></DIV>
