My vote would be to keep it simple and low-keyed for this initial one. Maybe we iron out whatever "kinks" arise this round, and then look at a bigger one in the spring? That way there would be time to put something decent sized together. With only maybe a dozen boats, save the good prizes for a bigger turn out???
Thanks for hosting the site and the very generous offer Jim, you're a true gentleman!!
(Some of the friends I've made thru here are prize enough
)
Ps- by "kinks" I mean stuff like the 5th crying when he loses!
