The O'day Champs are close by this year - July 30 - Aug 2 at Detroit YC.
This year it's in lasers - last year it was in Sunfish for the 1st time in
quite a while.
Unfortunately, the Area K qualifier conflicts w/ the GL Champs at Macatawa.
My apologies to those adversely effected.
If you don't win the Area K's (or go to GL Champs or some other event
instead) but still want to attend the Champs you can apply via resume. Most
likely, if you want to apply via resume you will need to bring your own boat
vs. using the new boats that are chartered by the elim qualifiers. Please
let me know if you plan on applying via resume.
Here's the details on the qualifier at Bald Eagle - outside of Minneapolis
