[Capri25] C-Dock party

C-Dock party

 

I don't like the idea of moving the C-dock party.  Hosting a National regatta (that out of town boats will come to) is a big deal.  The entire club should host a welcome party, not just the Capri fleet.  Yes the C-dock party is the showcase of the WYC parties but there is not reason we can't get other fleets involved and really show off how social, nice and welcoming WYC members are.

  Subject: [Capri25] J-22 Fleet offers to "sell their souls" to the Capri Fleet


  Hi Capri Friends,

  I have procrastinated too long about passing along this news, but here are few things that transpired at the J-22 Winter Madness Party.  They are, indeed, asking us for some huge favors, and are willing to do "almost" anything in return.

  1.  Mooring and docking.  The J-22 North American Championship regatta begins at WYC on Monday, September 11th.  They expect 50-70 boats to participate.  They would like ALL of the boats to be tied to a dock (not on a buoy) at WYC, to facilitate rigging, partying, etc.  Many of the J-22s at WYC are kept on lifts.  For the regatta, they will not be allowed to "dry sail".  For the J-22s with lifts, I (who volunteered to be in charge of interacting with the other fleets to facilitate this adventure) will attempt to arrange slip-trades with Sonars.  (They tell me a J-22 lift can handle a Sonar.)  They (the J-22s) would like most, if not all, Capris (and S2s, PHRFs, J24s, etc.) with slips, to move over to Shorewood Yacht Club for the week.  Mike Maloney, who is the new owner of Shorewood Yacht Club, has offered free mooring, and "taxi" service will also be arranged.  

  2.  C-Dock Party.  The party is currently scheduled for August 27th.  Out-of-town J-22s will be arriving on Sunday, September 10th.  The J-22s would like us to change the date of the C-Dock party to September 10th to show the out-of-towners what a unique and fabulous social scene we have at WYC.  The drawback I see to this idea, is that after racing, and partying, in a state of total exhaustion, we will have to caravan our boats over to Shorewood and then get rides back to WYC to our cars, or have a crew to move our cars to Shorewood.  For this, we should think of some really major payback from the Js!

  3.  Regatta Dinner Planning/Cooking/Serving/Cleanup.  This part is cool.  The J-22 fleet has offered to be completely in charge of our Capri Nationals dinner on Friday, June 16th.  (We still pay for the food.)  In exchange, they would like the Capri fleet to reciprocate by being responsible for one of their dinners, either Monday September 11th, or Tuesday September 12th.

  Your comments, suggestions, and offers to volunteer to help will be graciously accepted!
