<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;"> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for the posts Brad and Greg. Interesting that the emails went out as I was sailing with Joe Alexander and his crew on Monterey Bay this past Wednesday. I joked and said it was my first Kastner Cup crew. </span>

<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;"> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">After thinking about it more, I propose that we honor Kas' sailing success, by starting a "<strong>Kastner Cup Sailing Club</strong>." 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.</span>

<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;"> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span>

Just a follow up on my previous post…
<br>Stumbled into a commission built 1974 Cal3-30 racing sailboat. Massive provenance and kind of the Carrera RSR of 3/4 ton racing sailboats.
<br>I’d like to think Kas would approve!
