John,
You are tempting me to come out of retirement! With you, Charlie, Mark
and maybe get Rick Brass to come down from Washington, we could have a 5
boat C&C class. Except for Charlie, we all have very similar PHRF
ratings! I won't make any promises, "life" is giving us some challenges
these days....

Charlie,
Sounds as though I have moved into your slot in Oriental. Oh yes The
etchells and j24 are still here! :)
I don't have the rating you do with my 37, but yes we are generally
always first to the weather Mark! Last week on the down wind leg same
thing you mention in 4-knots and Mr Tartan was gaining til we were
able to get the whisker pole worked out, then good bye! Favorable
shift and 14 knots! made for an upwind finish from Adams creek to
Oriental1 and we clobbered them by many many minutes.
Win loose or draw, crazy ratings or not, I plan to be out there
having fun (as long as wind holds) under 4-5 it's power boat to New
Bern for lunch! :)
Mark B said he was doing Dragons Breath Regatta this year, and I plan
to be out there as well. Would be great if you can join in and have
Nice C&C fleet ( well at least 3-4) on the start line !
Then I can get some nice pictures from astern of you guys under sail!
Ciao!!
