Chris, O.K. on the OD rules, I guess I can "mix n match", just as well, the IB would do better around here w/ the TR anyway. Right now they are both "rigless" with "clean" decks. I could build either one back either way! As far as sailing form NOLA to Annapolis on a 27...I might opt for that as opposed to...say... a 1 year prison sentence...LOL I have a 1 ton truck and semi-unlimited access to a trailer, besides the owner of the trailer would be an integral part of the crew.

Hey Mark - Just come up and play with us and don't bother the hassle of bringing a boat north. There are plenty here and, worst case scenario, you would be much better off chartering a locally, pretty well equipped boat than trying to bring one north, unless you idea of a good time is sailing a C27 the 2500 miles from La to Annapolis in the heat of south in August.... At the last Nationals (2003) we had 25 boats and, yes there are a few varieties, but 22-23 of the 25 boats are the standard rig outboard models. We in Fleet 8 all race with the same OD configuration. Outboard, standard rig. In the nationals a few years back we did accommodate inboard, non spin and tall rigs in a "silver" fleet that raced with PHRF ratings, but didn't really count towards the National title, or for that matter the Annapolis Race Week dailies and overall. TF - What do you think? Can we find some space for a southern interloper on the Box of Toys? Of course we will have to ask the Dr. (Larry) about his participation. Afraid Mike R. will be unavailable for next season as the rumor is that Hi Tide will be back out, but I will see what I can do about a 5th. Of course Mrs. Chris will be on board. Long Live the C27 Nationals (even if we only do it in Annapolis every 5 years).
