Woody, Uffe, et al,

The "Corn Husker" regatta will be my first windsurfing event. Are
there any specific rules or regulations that must be followed for your
average windsurfing regatta?

For example, I know that your sail markings such as CAN757 must be
registered and put in a proper place. I am sure there are a number of
other things that I need to know. If you have any tips for a first
time racer I would really appreciate it.

I will be on Uffe's old Bic Techno Formula board, so I will probably
be in the formula class.

Thanks,

Fred
