Author: Mike Bruzzone ([email protected]) contact the author Subject: Weight Limit + 2008 LD Series Info: (31107 views) Posted: Friday 8-17-07 07:47:27 PM |
I propose no duplication betyween LD & Class. And, that the LD Series have first choice for the post event regatta potentials. Here's first cut ata short list; but hold comments until I get the complete proposal posted.
Dates are approximate weekend
Three Bridge; SSS ) 1/27 Crewed Lightship; OYRA 3/24 Double handed Farallones; BAMA) 4/7 Vallejo Race 5/5-6 Post Event Monterey Spinnaker Ru 5/25-26 Post Event Ditch Run; 6/2 Post Event Drakes Bay 6/9-10 Post Event Coastal Cup 6/21- Post Event Midnight Moonlight; e27 class (5) 7/7 Plastic Classic; e27 class (5) 7/15-16 Post Event Half Moon Bay OYRA (4) 7/21 Post Event Second Half Opener 7/28 Post Event Farralones; OYRA (5) 8/4 Half Moon Bay; SSS (2) 8/18 Post Event Windjammers 9/1 Post Event
I'm inclinded to cut the non post even races. I will post a proposal next week. Please e-mail inputs at this time. After the post is up we can have a web board rally on the issue
If the idea is to get more people out on the line; cutting the limit is part of a more FUN strategy.

:: This, of course, is just my opinion. If you want to

:: that. Go for it!
