The Pacific Offshore Powerboat Racing Association has announced that the 2003 Season Opener will again be held in Oceanside, California on May 3 & 4, 2003. Lots of stuff to see and do! Come see the best and the brightest in Offshore. The event is free to the public, so you have no excuse to not be there. Rumor has it that Craig Ferguson and the Two time World Champion Renegade team will be sporting some new fiberglass under that paint job in the form of a 40' Skater. John Peterson is talking sweet with a multiple boat team for "How Sweet It Is". There may even be a one-design lease program for this upcoming season. e-mail me if you are interested is getting involved in this series. The boats are available for lease by the race or by the season. It is a really cool proposition! Hope to see you all there!!

Hey, Thanks for the replies!! For patrol boats, you just need a boat big enough to be in the ocean. Pacific Dive and Rescue provides the rescue personnel and equipment. if you are interested in getting involved with PDR themselves, They require Open Water Diver, EMT and preferably both (althought both are not required). E-mail me and I'll get you in touch with the PDR folks. There are several EMT's who work for us who are on PDR and they LOVE it.

We watched the race last year from our boat and the year before my friend used his 27 Warlock as a patrol boat. It is a good time!!

Just keeping the topic on top of the list!! Check out the One-Design boats at www.reindlpowerboats.com (http://www.reindlpowerboats.com) . If there is sufficient interest in the program, We'll try to bring it out here!! They charge $4,500 per race for a one year contract and $6,000 for a one-time shot. Participants are checked out in the boats and are only responsible for hull damage. Engine and drive are covered as part of the lease fee. All riding crew must have a SCUBA certification and an FAA or DMV Physical. Our lease will probably mirror the lease and terms of the program back east. Holler if you have some interest!! The sooner we know we have interest, the sooner we can get the program in place.
