2012 West Coast Championship Regatta Report
As has been the custom for the last several years, the West Coast Championship was sailed as part of the San Diego NOOD regatta. Tireless So Cal I-14 fleet promoter Brad Reutenik has been coordinating the regatta with the NOOD folks, and his efforts make this regatta a favorite of the west coast fleet. He even went so far as to attend the off-site skippers meeting and bring the information back for an on-the-beach meeting for the fleet.A total of 10 boats registered for the regatta, and three…See More

"Boat looks really nice Kirk. Congratulations to you and Hendo for the boat performing so well right "out of the box"."
"If you want to get into 14ing one step at a time like I did, here's the boat. Conversely, If you want a quick boat that's not as turbocharged as your 14 so you can take a novice out with less chance of swimming, this will do it.…"
"Oh yeah. Here it comes. I love this regatta."
"I prefer Stone pale ale myself. As to your question, I don't know, but sure glad to be here. Latest greatest beer for me is Avery Brewing Company's Czar imperial stout. This is not a beer 14 sailors should consume…"
"Welcome Jimmy. Sounds like you have the right expectations. There used to be a wiki on the international site that had lots of advice on boat handling. Maybe somebody here can find that again? I think the Seattle fleet has a site with…"

Espionage report: 14ing in Seattle
My pipeline engineering conference provided the perfect cover for "just happening" to be in the area. The hospitable, but gullible Seattle fleet took the bait. Here is my daily report.
Saturday July 23 1145: Arrive hotel downtown seattle.1330: my fellow committee member, a Seattle resident with white arms and legs sticking out of shorts and hawaiian shirt, is muttering about being stuck in a meeting on the first real day of summer.

Thanks Stephen. Yes, my dad picked it up years ago in rough shape and did quite a bit of restoration work on it. Dad thought it might be a Uffa Fox design built in the 30's but we have found no documentation. We're actually looking for a buyer. It's located on Bainbridge Island near Seattle. Let me know if you know anyone who would be interested. Here's the CraigsList ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/boa/2693322814.html
