With the midwinter series just around the corner, we need to decide
on a series to attend as a fleet. Remember the days when we could get
30 boats on the starting line????? Let's show the other fleets just
how strong we are and unite for a great midwinter series!!!
The only question is which series we want to attend as a class.
OPTION #1 - Berkeley midwinter's (Dates - Nov. 10, Dec. 8, Jan. 12,
Feb. 9) This series has always been a lot of fun and has typically
resulted in the largest number of boats on the line. Last year we
went back to this series and though we had 22 boats signed up for the
series, we only saw between 11 and 14 boats on any race day. There is
only one race a day and the courses can be reachy at times since
fixed marks are used.
OPTION #2 - RegattaPro midwinter series. (Dates - November 3, Dec. 1,
Jan 5, Feb 2) This series is not run by a yacht club, but rather Jeff
Zarwell and his company at RegattaPro. We have attended this series
in the past but the number of participants has never been as good as
the old days at BYC. The advantages to this series is there are two
races on each day and he doesn't use fixed marks.
Bottom line, we need to get together and decide on a midwinter
series. This year we are going to go with majority vote to make the
decision. So, just send me an e-mail and tell me which option you
want to do. Whichever series gets the most number of votes (only one
vote per boat though) will be the series we sail this winter.
DEADLINE FOR VOTES IS FRIDAY 9/28/07. SO DON'T FORGET TO VOTE SO YOUR
VOICE IS HEARD.
Cheers,
Jason Crowson
