Hello J-80 Fleet 10 members.
Next weekend the temperatures are supposed to be in the low 60's, that is something to look forward to.
Here are some noteworthy items that I wanted to bring to your attention:
Screening of Courageous
Today at the Annapolis Film Festival there will be a screening of Courageous. Narrated by Michael Douglas, this NBC Sports Originals production dives into the story of the media mogul Ted Turner's journey through the sailing world during the 1977 race for the America's Cup. Join us after the screening for a discussion with sailing legend Gary Jobson and the other crew members who were on-board "Courageous" for the win. Tickets are still available and are $13.00 each. You can purchase them by clicking on this link:

AYC Frostbite Award
Tomorrow is the awards ceremony for the AYC Frostbites. The ceremony is at 3:00 pm at the Dock Street location.
Congratulations to Ken Mangano on Mango for winning the first half of the Frostbites with a convincing 11 point lead, followed by Anthony Flake on Snowstorm in second and the Walsh/Potvin syndicate in third on Windrider, separated by one point.
Congratulations to David Andril on VAYU for winning the second half of the Frostbites with a one point lead over Kevin McKee.
NOOD Regatta
Last year we had 23 boats at the NOOD regatta. I am hoping we can get 30 out this year. This is particularly important if we are going to prove to the National J-80 Board that Annapolis is worthy of hosting the Worlds in 2020. We need to show strength in the fleet and numbers on the line this year.

J-80 Fleet 10 "Oyster Stew" Tune-up Session
The tune-up session is slated for April 28, 2018. This is one week before the NOOD regatta and a great opportunity to get the rust out. AYC is providing the racing buoys, J-World is providing on and off the water support, Alan Terhune of North Sails will be on a coach RIB and I will be your committee boat. If you can't get your boat out, I could use some help on the committee boat. Let me know if you can assist.
We already have commitments from half a dozen boats participating boats and I expect more.There will be a cookout with free burgers, beer and dark and stormies following the session at J-World compliments of the J-80 Fleet 10.
Please send me an email if you are planning on participating in the tune-up or just the cook-out at J-World following the event so I will know how many to expect.
I hope to see you there and at other events this year.
