I have done a little lake racing on a Catalina 22, a couple of Flying Scots, and a Hurricane. I have also single handed an Islander 32 off the coast of California; but, that was cruising and not racing. I am 56 and in fair shape for an old guy. Feel free to call my cell at 336 978 0300 or write to Chris Maginnis, magoodness@gmail.com.
Chris,
Show up at Seabrook Marina Dry storage 4:30 to 5:15 PM Wed. afternoon you should be able to get a ride with someone, for the Wed Night Race. There is always some boat short crew. Also a 6 pack always helps. It's a starting place. (just say your sailing that night and they will buzz you in)
