Hi Brian,
I'm sorry to post here but I got this error message trying to message you privately:

Any chance you could clean old messages?

Hello Mark, Thanks for the write up. I am working on logistics. Obviously I have to get the boat back. I am looking at your schedule and thinking about coming down early to do one of your earlier races, just to play in the So Cal area. I grew up at King Harbor (a few blocks away). In fact as a toddler I watched it being built.

Hi Brian,

I'd be happy to help in any way I can to get you down here. We're hoping for a good turn-out this year. So far I know of at least 9 boats planning to race, and several more interested. Several folks down here are gearing up and using the Guadalupe Island race as a qualifier for the SHTP (Horizon & Slacker) and the Pac Cup (Prankster, Thriller & Bullitt). In 2008, the fleet was decimated by rough weather at the start leading to gear malfunctions. Runaway was the only boat to finish that year in what turned out to be a painful light-air finish.

I have a write-up that Frank Ross did on the race a few years ago. I'll forward it to you. One of the memebers did quite an exhaustive statistical analysis of the buoy readings a few years ago. I'll see if I can find that as well. There might be some write-ups on the conditions of previous years in the old archive PSSA SOLO newsletters (on the website).
