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 and it is easier to find crew and boats without conflict! My 2 cents only... Will

:: All -- choice of midwinters dropped off the agenda at
:: the class meeting due to time / bladder constraints. I
:: will follow up soon using the fleet email list with
:: summary of the decisions taken at the meeting.
::
:: Regarding midwinters, I am going to see about putting a
:: survey on the website to capture input from as much of
:: the SF Fleet as possible.
::
:: 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?
