Dear WrinkleBoat Sailor, It is Countdown time to the 2015 WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta & Ran-Tan Yes this is a goofy name for a get together of Jerry Montgomery and Lyle Hess designs on Lake Pleasant, AZ January 16-17-18, 2015. WICR (WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta & Ran-Tan) is an event for fun loving sailors and fun loving sail racers. The idea is to have a fun filled weekend with a bit of everything: Would you like to 'hang out' with a GREAT group of WrinkleBoat sailors? This is the place. Do you look to improve a particular skill or have a question for your wrinkleboat builder/designer? We probably have that covered too! Want to see different versions of 15,17 and 23 foot WrinkleBoats? You will not see a more varied field anywhere else! Like a 'distance race' with no marks and crowds? We have one (Sunday race) Do you like competitive sailing? We have a bit of that. (Friday practice type - Saturday - Leukemia Cup Regatta) Would you like just hanging out and sailing with other WrinkleBoaters? We have ALOT of that. Like to compare notes on how other WrinkleBoat sailors rig, commission, provision, stow, trail, retrieve, motor,etc? As good a place as any! Interested in Cruising grounds that other WrinkleBoaters sail - ask them here while they are in a good mood sailing their boats. Want to tell your friends you were SAILING in JANUARY - we will be sailing and we would love to have you join us! Currently we have sailors coming from Kentucky, Washington, Idaho, California, Colorado and Arizona. See the "Who's Attending" section at the web-site, www.wrinkleboat.webs.com, for latest roster of participants. If you are coming to sail with us and we don't have your name up on the list please send us an e-mail or use the "contact' button. This is the 'first' Leukemia Cup Regatta of the year - Please come and support the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society and have fun sailing - (watch for donation page address to come) If the above isn't enough ... if we have 20 boats registered and on the line you will have at least a 1 in 20 chance of winning a Montgomery 7-11 sailing dinghy (used) for the exorbitant price of $1.00 per chance! (Once chance per registered boat.) Winner need be present to win, the boat is delivered at Lake Pleasant Arizona at time of drawing - drawing to occur at trophy presentation on January 18, 2015 approximately 16:30 local time. Boat will NOT be raffled if there are less than 20 boats registered and racing - yes this is a 'cheap ploy' to boost participation - come on - come get the boat ! ! Have Fun, Come Sailing in the desert in January! _www.wrinkleboat.webs.com_ (http://www.wrinkleboat.webs.com) 2015 Edition - Gary O.
