All,

Below is the schedule that I have been working on. I welcome and want feedback. But in the end I am going to make a call based on what believe is best for the fleet.

My goals with our schedule are as follows. 1. No overlapping regattas (never split the fleet) 2. Get maximum turnout and make the season competitive 3. Roughly one LD and Bouy race a month from March to October. 4. Keep the total entry costs for the season around $1000 4. Support the YC that is hosting Nationals 5. Don't overlap with regattas that pull our crews away (RBBS, J70 Worlds, Express 37 Nationals, Moore 24 Nationals)

Remember that the scoring rules for the fleet require that you have to attend at least half of the races for the either the Championship (Buoy) or Deeds Trophy (Long Distance) series to qualify.
