I recall last year watching the R-PRO races as we wallowed in the big hole enveloping XOC. Unable to move XOC, we sat and watched R-PRO get off a couple of races (since they set up their course where the wind was:).

Just my $0.02 worth.

:: Just to note, Regatta PRO's OD midwinter series is held

::
:: :: Berkely Midwinters has always had the best turn out and
:: :: also does not conflict with other events. GGYC, EYC, and
:: :: CYC mids are all on the other weekends. The BYC Mids is
:: :: the only one on the 2nd weekend. I can only do it then

:: :: :: will follow up soon using the fleet email list with
:: :: :: summary of the decisions taken at the meeting.

:: :: :: My $0.02 is, notwithstanding that the courses are seldom
:: :: :: square & the number of potential races is fewer, the BYC
:: :: :: midwinters historically draw the greatest turn out.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: The last time the fleet switched, turn out dropped from
:: :: :: the low 20s to the low teens. That was a few years ago.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: In any case I think we should take a poll since we
:: :: :: weren't able to cover this at the meeting.

:: :: :: :: I could not make it to the class meeting, any plans to
:: :: :: :: post decisions? Which Midwinter series are we going to
:: :: :: :: participate in this year?
