<DIV>6PM is fine. There will definitely be someone around the club about then. My cell number is 612-804-6956 and if you happen to get there and I'm not around, I'll alert the fleet. Also (and this is for whomever helps you if its not me), either Quebec's slip (on D in front of the club) or the slip next to Azor is open.</DIV>

<DIV>As far as safety equipment goes, its pretty much that everyone have a PFD, and that there be one extra 'throwable' device, like a cushion type PFD on board. I have an extra one collecting dust in my garage if you need it. Paddle is a class requirement. Bailer is a good idea and maybe a class requirement too. Make sure your registration stickers are up to date. I don't think they'll be any issues.</DIV>

<DIV>Don't bring you motor. We'll tow you if needed unless you feel that you need it to maneuver around the docks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, this will be a big change from PHRF to one-design! You'll have a great time.</DIV>

I <BR>> wouldn't want anyone hanging around waiting for us. <BR>> <BR>> Also as this will be our first true Sonar regatta (we are always racing the <BR>> Sonar in PHRF) we have a few questions. <BR>> <BR>> Do we need to have a motor and gas aboard during the races? I would rather not <BR>> bring it if it's not required. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Are there any unusual local boat safety requirements that we may need to have on <BR>> board.
