Quick reminder, our spring meeting is tomorrow night, please be sure your membership is current.

Meeting Date: Thursday, May 22, at 8:30 pm EST

If you'd like to participate, PM or email me for call-in details.

Agenda:

1. Confirm members (Area Reps) of the US Sailing Multihull Racing Committee for 2014 (see original email below).

2. Form an ad hoc trophy subcommittee (need 1-2 volunteers), with the following goals:
2.a. Acquire a suitable companion (traveling) trophy for US Multihull Championship (Alter Trophy event).
2.b. Acquire and dedicate a suitable trophy to honor Darline Hobock's legacy of service to our sport.

3. Gather content for new US Sailing website. Need 1 volunteer to coordinate.

4. Generate ideas and create goals to populate a long-term plan for the Multihull Racing Committee. With a keen focus on the key elements our charter (Promotion, Communication, Handicapping, Safety, Championships, Training and Youth Development), we seek to differentiate ourselves from (but not compete with) our strong individual class associations, by offering complementary services which will benefit all multihull sailors and classes.

Please be prepared to discuss items that we can act upon for 2014, 2015 and 2016, per our directives in the US Sailing Regulations:

Category (Regulation):

Promotion (4.04.D.1)
Communication (4.04.D.2)
