IDRC Race boat launch

Lend a hand this Sunday morning June 2nd, at 8:30 AM when we will launch the freshly painted race boats in preparation for the US Elimination races the following weekend.  We will meet at Eastern Ave Self Storage (bring a trailer if you have one) and load up the 4 race dories, then off to the HS boat ramp where we will meet Joe Novello who has volunteered to tow them back to the town landing.  I also need a volunteer to meet Joe at 8:30 at the town landing to rig up the 2 practice dories that we will remove from the water after a full year in.  Please let me know if you can make it as many hands make for light work!
