[J24 ListSrv] J/24 US Nationals Update - Please Read

[Tom Verburgt]

Regarding wet sailing. The plan is to have all fleet 1 boats on lifts find a sonar or J22 to swap with. They should fit on your lift. We will be asking some boats to vacate their slips and move to Shorewood the regatta but those slips will go to out of town boats first as will the other transient slips. So please try to find someone in the sonar/j22 I fleet to swap with, if you don't know anyone talk to Bert or Ernie or Thorn Turner.
