Gotta love competition. Dieball Sails is offering Special Pricing, too. You can grab a 20% discount starting immediately. This special runs through December 10, 2013. They tell me, "There are no hoops to jump through or minimums to activate this special pricing."
The sails can be found here: http://dieballstore.com/
Brian Hayes from North Sails has arranged a 20% OFF deal if we can get together a fleet sails order by November 30 (Saturday). He's counting Wilmington and Charleston as the same fleet. He already sold enough sails at the Wild Oyster that he only needs 7 more orders to get the 20% discount. If you're interetsed please file out the North Sails One Design Order Form - lightning (click link to download form) and talk to Brian. I believe he needs both the order form and payment by Saturday.
Several boats have already registered for the Wild Oyster. They still need to come by the registration desk to pay and pick up their bow numbers.
Thanks!
The Carolina YC will be opening up the boathouse — the building closest to the water and the hoist — for drinks on Friday Night. Non-members can pay by cash; members can charge to their accounts. Credit cards aren't accepted — maybe next year.
We'll also have beer in the boatyard so you can relax after Greg Fisher's seminar.
The Wild Oyster Sailing Instructions - 2013 are now available online. Hardcopies will be available at Registration.

It's a great idea to take advantage of early bird discount by sending in your registration early. The NOR says, "$5 Discount, if you fax yourregistration form toCYCpriorto Thursday, November 8". See the NOR for full details.
Please join us for a Greg Fisher Lightning clinic on the water on Friday afternoon.
The Carolina YC will be offer a free continental breakfast and lunches for $7/person/day. If they're anything like in the past, the make you're own sandwich fixins are excellent.
We were able to help several crews with housing at several local sailors homes, but the demand has outstripped the demand at this point. We would still love to have you at the Wild Oyster Regatta. In addition to the hotels listed in the NOR, the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has links to lots of other travel accomodations. They list campgrounds, if you're on a limited budget.
They also have great suggestions for things to do and see.
