Certainly not the near future!

2009 Nationals registration counts as of 27 Feb --

And I'd go to the 15M nats too (I have a glider that will do both)
were it not on the east coast!

.02NO


Agreed! That's why I'm smack in the middle of those 49 15Ms!

But look at what is being built right now, and project that forward a
few years....

Of course, that just means it'll be more fun to beat the snotty-nosed
18m ships with a ratty old 15m, winglets (draglets) be damned!

Is this a great sport or what!
