David,

When possible could you add the name of the boat each skipper was sailing? That would be good information. I know there were at least a couple of Shamrocks V and Rangers.

Thanks

Tim

Just a last note, we had a award ceremony at the lake a week ago for the "BOOT GUYS" for the J Boats, Allan Thorson & Mike Marten where given T shirts, I think these guys did a great job.
