Sunday's Pacific Northwest One Design Regatta took place at Corinthian Yacht Club Seattle. It was a competition for Melges 24-year-olds. This regatta is also part the Canadian National Championship. It was a great success. The crews had a blast despite the wind and many were moved to tears by these conditions. However, the experience wasn't without its positives. The regatta's location is not only competitive, but it also allows residents to enjoy the city's recreational and cultural offerings.
The Pacific Northwest One Design Regatta offers a great opportunity to participate in the J/30 class. This fleet is steadily growing over the past years and will continue growth in 2008.

Visit the Pacific NW District website for more information about the J/30.
Northwest One Design is not making the same style of supper spinnaker bags that they produced in the past. The supper spinnaker bag is designed to compress the spinnaker when taken down. Unlike supper spinnaker bags, Northwest One Design's bag is made from light, tough cloth that will not trap water and support mildew. It blends in well with the surroundings.

How To
Do you prefer renovating exterior or interior?
Which one should I do first?
There are many factors you need to consider when choosing which project you want to work on. The most important thing to consider when deciding which project to start is whether the structure is old or new. It is important to assess the condition of the roof and windows as well as the doors, flooring, and electrical system. You should also consider the design, location, size, number and style of the building.
If the building is old, the first thing to look at is the roof. You should start the renovation if you feel the roof is at risk of falling apart. You can proceed to the next step if the roof is in good condition. Next, examine the windows. If they are broken or dirty, then you might want them replaced before doing much else. After that, you can go through all the doors to make sure they are clear of any debris. Next, check that everything seems to be in order before you begin work on the floors. You want to make sure the flooring is sturdy and solid so it doesn't break no matter how much you walk on it. These steps will be completed before you can proceed to the walls. Check the walls for cracks and damage. If the wall appears to be in good shape, you can continue to the next steps. Once the walls have been checked, you can begin to work on the ceiling. You should inspect the ceiling to ensure that it can withstand any weight you put on it. If all is well, then you are ready to move on to the next phase of your renovation.
If your building was constructed recently, you might want to look at the exterior. Examine the exterior of the house. Is the house well-maintained? Is there any cracks? Does the exterior look great? You should fix any exterior problems. Your home shouldn't look shabby. Next, make sure to check the foundation. If the foundation looks weak, then you should repair it. Also, be sure to check your driveway. It should be flat and smooth. If it isn't, then you should probably fix it. The sidewalk should be checked as well when you inspect the driveway. If it's not level, you might need to replace it.
These areas should be checked before you move on to the inside. First, take a look at the kitchen. Is it well maintained and clean? If it is messy, then you should probably clean it up. Next, examine the appliances. These appliances should be in top shape and functioning properly. If they aren’t, you need to either get new ones or fix them. Next, inspect the cabinets. If they are stained or scratched, then you should probably paint them. If they're in good condition, you can move on to the bathrooms. Here, check the toilet. If it leaks, then you should probably get a new one. If the surface is just dirty, it should be washed. Next, take a look at all of the fixtures. You should make sure they are clean. If they're dirty, you need to clean them. Finally, you should inspect the countertops. They should be repainted if they are chipped or cracked. Sealant should be used if the surfaces are smooth and shiny.
Last, check the furniture. Check that nothing is damaged or missing. You should find what is missing if it is not there. You should fix anything broken. Once everything is in order, you can then move on to the next step.
