Bryan,
I was talking to Andrew Davies last Saturday and he suggested that we try and get a group together for the International week and Worlds in St. Moritz next summer. They had 98 boats at the Europeans this past August I believe and should have as many if not more for the World there. I've talked to my wife and we are looking into the possibility of attending that one but I think instead of shipping our boat over we will be chartering one from one of the boat manufactures over there if that is possible. If nothing else it would give us a presence and maybe use it as a good tune up before investing to ship boats over to Thialand in 2008. This is just a suggestion and something I was thinking about doing. Our National schedule should be posted shortly as we have to decide where the Nationals and North Americans should be located.
