[Capri25] Capri 25 Harvest Moon Cup - Night Race 2012

[gary valentini]

Hi John, Following up on the confirmation of having this race from the vote at the Capri 25 meeting. I spoke with Bert Foster last night at WYC Happy Hour and he fully supports the race as a regular scored, scheduled, competetive non-social one off race similar to the Burton Cup. He said he will help make available all official race resources for our use. Proposed Saturday Sept 1, 2012, or following Saturday Sept 8, 2012. It will be before the Star of the North Regatta. Line set in Wayzata Bay or by Spirit Is, race to lighted buoy in Excelsior Bay and back. He thinks this could be a tradition and other fleets could grab on to it. Also thinks we should get a trophy lined up for it for Awards Banquet. Contact him as soon as possible so it can get on the schedule.  Thanks John! Gary

One item for the agenda for tomorrow's Capri fleet meeting I would like to add is the Capri Night Cup. This was enthusiastically and unanimously given a thumbs up last year but was accidentally not put on WYC official schedule so did not happen. Would like to have this re-addressed and added. Looking at a Sat evening in Sept, 9:30 start, start by Spirit Island, race to Excelsior, round lighted mark, back to Spirit Is to finish. We sail at night all the time up on Superior, why not here...:) This race would be something out of the box and unique in terms of a real scored race at night on Lake Minnetonka. Distintincitive in using skills in a new and challenging way. Gary Valentini "Rampage"
