Opportunities everywhere! Come out and sail 14's..
The UK have announced that 3 top, race-ready 14's are available for the 2008 season. Sign up for trials, click here>>
And in the US, sailing anarchy reports.. "Brad... the local drum-beater for the San Diego I14, fleet has this fit of brilliance and planed an Intro Weekend to get all the people who have expressed interest in 14ing out on the water."
Full story below, but these comments tickle; good effort ladies!
"Now- if I may vent for a moment. Everyone who has a 14 gets asked all the time "Take me out!" It is a BLAST to sail and everyone knows it. But when it came time to actually GO SAILING, who showed up???? Women and juniors! It was a poor showing for the "men". Instead... the rest of us all got to sail with a bunch of fun hot chicks who all totally dug the boat and some super cool juniors who are already planning their advances from the 420 and 29ers to the 14. The youngest was 12 and he was driving in no time."

A Celebration of the Seattle I-14 Fleet’s 60th Anniversary
October 5 - 7 2007
Corinthian Yacht Club, Shilshole Bay, Seattle, Washington
Sponsored by:
Helly Hansen, Ronstan, Fisheries Supply and ProSail
Twenty-one I-14s showed up for the 2007 US nationals – an excellent
turnout considering that half a dozen boats were delayed on the way
back from summer racing in Britain. Fortunately several of the sailors
with boats held hostage in the container were able to salvage things by
borrowing /chartering boats from west coast fleets. Teams came from as
far away as San Diego, Newport RI and Alberta Canada. This moment was a
watershed event for Seattle’s burgeoning fleet since it marked 20 years
from the last time an I14 Nationals had been held off of Shilshole. The
last time that had happened it was in celebration of the 40th
anniversary of the fleet!
The Friday blow-by-blow…
A cold grey northerly greeted the 14ers for Friday's racing. Dock
conversation from participants were along the lines of “cold, cold,
&'@#*! cold”, and “…showed up in the morning to rig - had a fuzzy
hat, big coat, and a polo shirt - not enough…” Just a hint… those
comments were not from the Canadians!
The first race was off at 1:00 PM in about 12kts of breeze, with a
double windward leeward, and was won by the team of Bundy and Hansler
in 1163. The next race was the traditional 15-mile Long Distance race -
which is for the President's trophy and cannot be shortened. The sun
was coming out for this race -but the wind was dying. The race got off
in about an 8kt breeze and the wind died from there. The course was to
a inflatable buoy about 5 miles to windward - then back about 8 miles
to a govt. mark, then up by the harbor, then a downwind finish. This
race was won by Bundy & Hansler, and seemed to set a pattern that
would last for the regatta. Only Bundy & Hansler and a few more
made around the govt. mark before the wind died and the tide turned
foul, leaving the rest of us out there for a few more painful hours
only to be towed home about sunset.
