Esquif Boats at OC Nationals?

I'm considering going up to nationals this year, I will be flying since the driving is just too much from Ottawa.

I was wondering if there will be anyone bringing Esquif boats, i.e., Sparks to the race?

Or if someone would share a Spark with me, that would be great too!

Thanks!

It's pretty likely that Esquif will be there, but there will be many private parties bringing their Sparks too. We're a generous lot, so that borrowing a boat shouldn't be a problem. You're welcome to mine, but it's outfitting freaks some people out. 8)

I'm not sure about Esquif, I e-mailed 4 reps. 2 replied that they can't make it, and haven't heard anything from the other 2 reps....

I know that most everyone will likely have a Spark, but it can be tricky to share during a race. I will hope/assume that along with yourself, there are other generous souls out there, that will be happy to share.

I'll continue to pursue avenues as well.

Just how freaky is your outfitting?? If I don't get lucky, I may take you up on your offer, freaky outfitting or not.

Thanks for your speedy reply!

I'm planning on being there with my Spark. My outfitting is bulkhead/hip pads and is very tight on me. Depending on your size it might work. I'm planning on just racing the rec masters category and wont be there for practice earlier in the week, just the weekend of the race.
