Sign me up for Lightship and 3-bridge Cheerleader!

:: If someone in better touch with the various scheduling
:: committees on the bay can get together all the names and
:: dates (or tentative dates) of potential Express 27
:: Events, I will put them into the website now and people
:: can vote for an event (by signing up as "sailing") and
:: discuss on the regatta page message board.
::
:: I'll keep a record of the commitments people make now,
:: and embarrass anyone that doesn't follow through and
:: sail.
::
:: One way to increase participation would be to assign
:: different fleet members as the "promoter" for each event
:: on the final schedule. They would be responsible for the
:: cheerleading and whatever other minimal organizational
:: work is required to make an event a success.
::
::
:: :: If there's interest, I'd be happy to schedule a group
:: :: conference call to discuss and maybe vote on a schedule.
:: :: I know it sounds like a lot of people, but I've seen it
:: :: work. -Joe B.
:: ::
:: :: :: So, if I am understanding you correctly, you are wanting
:: :: :: more events on the schedule so you can choose between
:: :: :: races that fit your schedule. I think by having the
:: :: :: "Class" series and the "LD/Fun" series (or whatever you
:: :: :: want to call them) there should be plenty of events to
:: :: :: choose from.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: The idea for having less events is to get more boats on
:: :: :: the line. I think everyone will agree that having 20
:: :: :: boats to race against is far more fun than having 2. If
:: :: :: we make too many events on the schedule then I believe
:: :: :: we will get lower attendance overall. Just my opinion.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Since I am not the class commodore, I am just giving my
:: :: :: opinion. If someone wants to put together some sort of
:: :: :: schedule, they are more than welcome to do so. Bruzzone
:: :: :: has been talking up a storm about a LD/Fun series on
:: :: :: this message board and has received little to no
:: :: :: response from the class.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Remember, this is your class (all e27 owners) and it
:: :: :: will only be as good as the amount of effort that you
:: :: :: each put into it!
:: :: ::

:: :: :: -Jason
:: :: :: (class cheerleader) :-)
:: :: ::
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Personally the 2007 schedule was a huge disappointment
:: :: :: :: and with only six or 7 Regattas on the schedule it’s a
:: :: :: :: do or die approach for the fleet. It great to have 18
:: :: :: :: boats on the line but what’s available to those who's
:: :: :: :: schedule cannot accommodate these specific dates. PHRF…
:: :: :: :: Ugh!
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: I would like to see more events schedule that will allow
:: :: :: :: for some flexibility in everyone busy schedule and I do
:: :: :: :: not believe that less regattas will be better attended.
