I know none of you have every done this before... ever right...
Well I guess I got the dates a little messed up in my earlier message. The Race Days are actually September 29th and September 30th. We will be having Lars Gluck do his coaching on Friday September 28th.
Sorry for the confusion.
On another note:
DEBUT of NEW BOAT DESIGNS So it looks like the group has assembled pretty well for this regatta again. An added bonus this year comes too. We have travelers, Lindahl's, coming from Michigan with a very radical new boat design and it will be doing its first debut of racing on the east coast here in NJ that weekend. We also have travelers coming in from Canada's A-Cat fleet and one of which has one of those new boats also. many of us have heard about this new concept in hulls and now we get to see it up close and on the starting line
I know some of you have also seen Peter Cogans new designed hulls and boat, taking the good parts of the Bimare and Pete Melvin's designs and putting it together in a new hull shape. Should be fun to see the performances of each of these new designs before heading down to the worlds later this fall.
HOUSING ...Going Fast We are starting to make assignments for the housing for the regatta. Lots of good houses left but with the response we got last week they will fill up fast. So if you are at all interested in coming for the Party/Racing, please let me know ASAP so I can keep a count on the guests and start farming them out to the fleet members. Almost all of us live on the lake front and have accommodations ranging from big private homes to historic boat houses with apartments above them.
FAMILIES WELCOMED Also consider bringing the wives and kids. We have three families attending so far and we will try and get them close enough, if not in the same home, that there is some self entertainment benefits. Last year a bunch of the "Significant Others" took off on a shopping spry and some went off to New York City while the sailors wee having a great day. The yacht club itself is very friendly with children and has good swimming and food all day as well.
Well hope we can see ya up here at the lake in a couple weeks.
