[SCOW] 2012 Cantina Cup

Hi sailors!

For those of you wanting to participate in this year's Cantina Cup the Notice of the Race is now out and available.  See the text below and attached.  You can join a fun regatta and support a good community sailing mission.

Here's a video of some of the Cantina Cup races from last year in which you can see some cool unidentified guys from SCOW who took home the cup last year in the non-spin keelboats. (It's at minute 2:50).
