Hi !!
We are camping in FL awaiting the National Championships, literally I'm in the front seat of our RV while 6 kids sleep doubled up and one on the floor. 
Also noteworthy the Brocks are sleeping in tents, no AC ! It's SO humid here.

Yet the kids are so excited !! Thanks for your support which helped enable us to do back to back weeks of sailing.

Meanwhile, can you help with the FJ Series ?? :
- clearing debris from FJ 1,2,3 launch side of Rylander ?
- clarify how we get our next FJ coverage team, the rudder pins ? we failed to communicate properly on Kate's offered help.
- any insight on #10 and #11 below would be helpful.

we had 11 boats !! last Sunday, so these items need attention to accommodate the week over week increase in attendance we had last year.

THANKS ! times 100.

Well I’m sorry to have to report that boats 1+2 were still hemmed in with debris, so we didn’t even try and use them. I didn’t get any rudder pins, so I avoided any boats that you had called out in your earlier emails as being defective.
 
We did have a couple of other issues.
Boat 10 has a broken gooseneck. It was still used as Luke from UT sailing thought that it would be OK as the outhaul holds the boom against the mast, but it does need fixing properly.
Boat #11 I believe had the main sheet block come unattached (Johannes Brinkmann was sailing it). The bits are still in the boat, but it either needs a new U clip or the existing on being re-bent back into shape.
 
 
Other than that, it all went off smoothly.

thanks for covering this event with such an awesome staff. Hopefully boats 1,2,3 were able to launch ( we had reported tree limbs in the water blocking launch), and plenty of rudder pins were available to make up for the lack of rudder tabs on a couple of boats (Kate said she had plenty of pins, I hope you got them). If there is anything we can call out, to dramatically improve next week's experience please let us know. If there are minor items to call out ( like mold, no sponges or bailers, weak elastic holding up the hiking straps), let us know too but we might already know of these items. The main goal is to improve the client experience week over week if possible.
