Subject: Long Distance Fun Series - February

February LD/Fun Series Race Suggestion:

For the February LD/Fun Series race, I'm suggesting Saturday Corinthian only on February 16th or 23rd. Its usually the third weekend of the month. If there's agreement on this I will work on the one day entry fee with CYC. So, that is the weekend after Berkeley midwinter.

The regatta includes a Saturday night dinner/dance. I've suggested Saturday only as the Alameda boats have stated in the past that its a lot of extra work taking the boats home kitty corner to this race course area late Sunday afternoon.

If we were to do both days, I would. However, wanted to take into account one of the objections I've heard in the past from the Alameda boats.

The course lengths for CYC midwinters are 4 to 10 miles. On a good wind day there is plenty of after race dock festivities. One a bad wind day the race course is shortened with at club festivities in mind.

I am not oppossed to this race being the first LD/Fun Series race for the season, given the after race social, dinner dance that evening. Becuase of the festivities I think CYC Saturday midwinter is a great way to start the season LD/Fun series.
