BlockSail pulled the last 4 boats from the water today. Many of the boats are heading to the North Americans in Annapolis, MD in late October. If you need any help with transport, housing or boat prep, please consider Sail22.com. Ed Furry and Becky DaMore have a great reputation.
Sail22, LLC is a company geared toward working with boat owners to coordinate all of their regatta needs. As the premiere sailing team concierge service, they strive to make the regatta experience as enjoyable as possible for owners and their crew.
Becky raced the Nationals with Simon Strauss on Simplicity, the 3rd Overall boat. They we’re smokin’ fast.
Given Sail22 a call, then go running to loose weight for the NAs.

Travis Weisleder is rumored to have a Corinthian crew for the Nationals. At the 2008 Charleston Race Week regatta, which he won, he had several sailors that are returning for the Nationals.
Scott Nixon will be driving from himself on “Quantum Racing” and Justin Chambers is expected to sail with his brother Darren Chambers on “Image Freeway.”
Here’s a picture of them at Charleston Race Week:
