Hi Capri-25 sailors, I thought I would give you some perspective on selecting fleet captains. Fleets are run very autonomously with some having a lot of rules, procedures, documentation, etc., and others run very loosely with little or no organization and not much effort needed on the part of the fleet Captain. The Capri-25 fleet falls in the first category which helps make them a great fleet. Therefore, it would make sense to use a process in selecting your fleet officers that is not significantly different than that in the attachment which shows the criteria for selecting WYC board members and flag officers. 1.    They don't need to be a full member of the yacht club nor a boat owner to be a good fleet Capt.2.    You probably want a hard-core racer who is also embedded in the social environment of the fleet.3.    They must love the boat and the fleet.4.    Because the Capri fleet is complex with rules, procedures and activity, it’s pretty important that you have somebody who is competent.5.    It's important that you have somebody who is willing and wants to serve the fleet they love6.    It must be the right time in their personal life so that they will have the time to contribute. That means not too busy at work, not too busy at home, and not too busy with other outside activities.7.    In some fleets, it is important to have a fleet captain with leadership qualities and a strong principle of fairness, with the ability to say “no” to some loud voices in the fleet who are constantly wanting to change the rules to make them advantageous to their own self-interest. I hope you find this helpful. Carmella and I are planning to attend the meeting, and looking forward to discussing the changes in the WYC race program for 2013 and answer any of your questions.
