I posted this yesterday and can't find it today.

Kimball Livingston has written a very nice and well deserved feature article on Skip Allen in the Sept. issue of Sail magazine. The article isn't about the SHTP per se but certainly gets the word out there about the race.

It would be extreemly helpful if people, especially some of the racers, would send letters/e-mails to Sail thanking them and Livingston for the article. We need this kind of national coverage to attract entrees from other parts of the country.

When we ask for coverage for 2010 we'll be more likely to get it if the editor remembers us as "that great group out on the West Coast" as opposed to "that snarky bunch who whined and moaned because we didn't give them......".
