We are in Canada, so we would like the drive to be worth it. Can you suggest which to attend? Can you pitch us on Dallas Race Week? Great website! I look forward to hearing from you and eventually seeing you on the water. Just bought a O30 and the crew would like to take her south for a regatta with as many O30s racing as possible.
