Subject: Open Letter to the Crew of Attitude Adjustment
Info: (10781 views) Posted: Thursday 9-1-05 10:08:52 AM
To the Crew of Attitude Adjustment, Jeff Thorpe, J.V. Gilmour, Debra Hong, Liga Hoy, Soren Hoy:

(Liga and Soren, please forward to your crew, as I do not have their email addresses)

I write you in an attempt to "clear the air" with respect to your fine boat and crew and the express 27 class.

While the fleet membership was compelled to make certain changes to the class rules recently, and more are expected, a reading of the current rules and interpretations makes it very clear that Attitude Adjustment earned the 2004 Express 27 Nationals Championship and 2004 Express 27 Season Championship in full accordance with Express 27 Class Rules. You should all be very proud of this achievement, you have won in a very competitive fleet.

The changes to the class rules were not undertaken lightly, and were not intended to cast any doubt on this acheivement. You won fairly and within the rules. The fleet officers are sorry for any distress or hurt this matter has caused for "Attitude Adjustment" and her talented crew. On behalf of the Fleet Officers, let me offer you our sincere apology.

Sincerely, Mark Lowry Express 27 Class Association President
