NALSA:
Thanksgiving Sailing Trials: Ivanpah Dry Lake
November 22 to 26 (with most activity from the 23rd to 25th).
We are planning minor changes in the Thanksgiving event.  It seems that this guy from Vermont has put the all-out speed record a bit out of reach for the rest of us for the time being.   We plan to race informally if the wind is right, do speed trials if there is enough wind and if there is no wind, measure things that affect boat performance.  Bring your measurement tools and ideas. Robert Webber is working on getting plaques for each class for the fastest boat.  There will be a small (as yet undetermined)  fee to defray the costs of BLM permits and to start to pay for the speed record plaques.   If you would like additional information contact Floyd White (702-361-1006).
