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.
