Yes, definitely has the potential otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Appreciate the support as always! Yes, a lot of boats said they were in but seemed to vanish the week of the race for one reason or another. I'm not upset, it's racing and if I didn't think it was worth saving I wouldn't have gotten involved but it's definitely going to be an undertaking. My hope is that we get enough committed boats for the planned Desert Storm Gran Prix after the "shoot out" on Saturday, April 26th.

Nick, it was a lap event- we had two courses one that was approx. 5 1/3 mile (around the island) and one in front of the island (small course 4.4 miles). Because we ran P classes we based the amount of laps (both big course and small course - which could be run in no particular order but had to run the prescribed laps on the different courses) on speed of the boats in the different P classes.
