Hey Rob,
Yeap. I was in Charlotte. That was a fine regatta with some great competition. I liked your comment about rule 42. That came up twice over the weekend from the informal judge boat.
Last year I made it to a few D12 events like Charleston and Columbia. We may have met at some point. I just bought my Laser last year. Previously I was sailing SOBs [some other boat].
Regarding Charleston and laser sailors. I thought it would be the southern laser sailing mecca, but only handfull of lasers would show up for summer series. I spent summer and fall expecting them to come out of the woodwork. So now I am looking for a more active fleet.
Cheers,
Nate
