Chicago NOOD Regatta

posted Jun 17, 2009 8:28 AM by Joseph Fillingham
Hello All,

This weekend is the Chicago NOODs.  I will be making my first trip to this national traveling regatta.  Although my regular boat will not be attending, I've arranged to sail with Mosquito, a Farr 395.  I do not have any experience on this particular boat, but it will be good practice for me as they fly an asymmetric kite off a bow sprite.  Coming off the Snow Goose which is, up until recently, been a symmetric only boat, this weekend should be a good learning experience.  

Owner and skipper Dave Radkte has assigned me as one of the trimmers, which I am very excited about.  This is a position I walk into well, although there is always a learning curve. 

Results will be posted soon!
