Not sure, but I think I may have sailed _once_ with a few of 
them or their clones!  
BTW, looks like my first outing for the year is this coming 
Saturday for our Hospice race.  There won't be a 'B' fleet, 
so my skipper opted to go with the 'C' class, cruisers, no 
flying sails.  
I'm a bit disapointed in that, but there is a silver lining:  
My daughter gets to go on her first "Outside" race!  Depending 
on wind, it can be a 20+ mile course, and that's the one Mike and 
I are hoping for.  Whether Natalie can handle it is still the 
open question.  }:-)  
It's a lot different than the inside Sequim Bay racing, as the 
waves are much bigger.  The Bay is more like a large lake.  
Oh well, I did remind Mike to bring an extra bucket for Natalie!  
(Besides, she probably won't need it, as she's weathered a 20+ 
knot blow on the inside on our C-Lark.  Scared the hell out of 
her for a while, but she got into it and made the boat move quite 
well!  Her sailing instructor praised her for her work!!!)  
... Sailing Oxymoron - Friendly regatta.
