In LoCal the wabbits are not allowed to use the trapeze. Aaron Storm on Wild Bunch II took 3- firsts in San Diego's Hot Rum regatta last year. Very Impressive, in a fleet of 174 boats I believe he finished 11th in the Hot Rum. In Newport Beach we won First in Class and Third over all in the Seal Beach to Dana Point race. We have also done quite well in the Local races scoring several first to finish in class as well as winning class. We have also tried something different, we went with all Aso's. We received permission from PHRF to go mast head in the lighter wind down south and have done quite well with our mast head Aso's. Robert
