We use 'you ship' but were not in a hurry. We bought our I14 in Minnesota in October, but, we didn't really need it until spring. First quote was $3,000. As the months went buy the bids got lower. We finally settled on $350 in March to Oyster Bay, NY. Are you moving to NY, Long Island perhaps? Ed Ch...

Hi:

We are going to add a twist grip to US 1112 this winter. I was wondering what you did to make yours "flawlessly executed twist tiller adjustment".

Anyone know who is organizing racing on teh East Coast?
Anyone have any ideas how to get racing started on the East Coast?

Glad you made it back! I got the email too.

What's different? Slightly bulbious bow?

If a prominate East Coast Yacht club were to host a I14 Regatta on Long Island would anyone attend?

Oak Clif Skiff Clinic is July 5 to 14.

Hi:

Just an up date. Oakcliff is planning on skiff clinics next summer in Oyster Bay with Olympic level coaches. They are in the planning stages right now. I will keep you posted. If I had some interest I would approach them to see if they would add 14s to the FX & 49er days.
