Update (April 29, 2008)
We are getting closer to the 70th Anniversary and we are very excited about the number of responses. In addition to the 33 yawls already planning to come, we have 15 "maybes." I'll reach out to the "maybe" list in a week or two.
One aspect that needs coordination is lining up owners who need crew with owners who would like to sail but won't have their boats in Padanaram. My hope is to list owners who plan to come and would like to sail, and owners who need crew can contact them directly.
The owners who would like to sail but won't have their boat at the 70th are:
- Thorpe Leeson (Halcyon) - [email protected]
- Chris & Kathy Grace (Lotus) - [email protected]
- James Cosgrove (Yankee) - [email protected]
- Craig & Marcia Steidle (Saxon) - [email protected]
- Rob DesMarais (Whisper) - [email protected]
- Bob & Val Grindrod (Horizon) - [email protected]
- Tony Harwell (Actaea) - 386-530-1226
PLEASE consider your crew & reach out to these folks directly if you need more crew. If you do line someone up, respond to this post - so others will know to take these folks of their list.
In addition, two other folks who don't own yawls, but would love to sail are:
- Stephen Thompson - [email protected]
- James Amodio - [email protected]
