Its time to thinking about this:

:: Here is the Draft Schedule for the 2017 LD and
:: Championship Seasons. I will take all comments into
:: consideration between now and the Dec 29th. In
:: particular if people would like to switch out some races
:: in the LDS i am open to that. I will post the final on
:: Jan 1. But in the end I am going to make a call based on
:: what believe is best for the fleet.
::
:: My goals with our schedule are as follows. 1. No
:: overlapping regattas (never split the fleet) 2. Get
:: maximum turnout and make the season competitive 3.
:: Roughly one LD and Buoy race a month from March to
:: October. 4. Keep the total entry costs for the season
:: around $1000 4. Support the YC that is hosting Nationals
:: 5. Don't overlap with regattas that pull our crews away
:: (RBBS, Express 37 Nationals, Moore 24 Nationals). 6.
:: Pick up as many of the SSS races as possible in the LDS
:: series. 7. Have at least one Ocean race on the schedule
::
:: Remember that the scoring rules for the fleet req you to
:: do half the starts. What is below will require 6 starts
:: for LDS and 19 for Championship.
