Tom,
The event is a great idea, and the setting perfect for watching it from the water. Would it be possible to schedule future races on Saturdays? Anchoring along the route would be nice (Bordley Point?) but to arrive on time sailing from Annapolis / Baltimore means leaving on Thursday...
I don't recall seeing any announcement on Spinsheet or Proptalk (I could have missed them), I guess having the event promoted in the August issues would attract people that otherwise are not aware of the event until they report results. Also, having some time specifically allocated to showing the boats and systems would be interesting (I guess it happens anyway).

Subject: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric boat marathon in Maryland October 1, 2010
Well, I'll bump this up to everybody's attention just once more. No discussion at all so I have to figure few here if any want to participate in electric boat competitions. If there is interest but just not in these two events I would like to hear what would be appealing IE: different location, different dates, mulitple distance choices...whatever.
In any case, everyone is welcome to come to St. Michaels, MD this Friday to catch the Wye Isalnd Challenge and keep April 15, 2011 in mind for the Florida event.
Thanks, Tom
