Currents and wind are definitely in-play.  Do you know which area the Nationals 
will be held in (which YC is hosting will probably let me know where they'll 
sail)?  I used to sail against the Thunderbirds in my last boat (Ranger 28); 
there are probably 2 to 3 you'll need to focus on.  Which one are you sailing?  
I could potentially find you crew with local knowledge or skippers to give you 
a briefing when you arrive...

Thanks,
