>>> After thinking about it more, I propose that we honor Kas' sailing success, by starting a "Kastner Cup Sailing Club."  I modified the Kastner Cup logo (attached) and would like to order baseball caps.  We can sell the hats as a fundraiser for the 2024 Kastner Cup race at Sonoma.
>>>  
>>> If we have interest, I'll be happy to take a couple of groups (up to six) out sailing in Monterey Bay before the Laguna Seca races the following weekend.  Again, the Sonoma Kastner Cup is April 26-28, and the Laguna Seca race is May 3-5, 2024.

>>> Buy a hat and you're in the club!  Let me know if you're interested.  I'll try to recruit Joe for the distribution!  Thanks.
