I proofread this email and missed the word evil. It should have been "E vote". Sorry for the error.

I like what you guys said ...

An E-vote would help.  With all the time constrains, it really should be organized along those lines. I thought a "Capri officers only " evil communications network would be in order.  In that way a stupid comment (like my anchor comment) wouldn't get whipped up into a shark feeding frenzy.  Once the fleet officers have worked through all the kinks via electronic communication, the ideas could be brought before the general fleet - having already been largely hashed-out.

Thanks OT!  You IT guys will eventually rule the free world.

The WYC Board of Directors has an evil process and does it all the time.

John,

You make good points.  This is another example of why I would like to propose a e-vote rule.  In this day and age of technology, we should be able to make decisions as a fleet without requiring everyone to get into a room.

Thanks again for serving your fleet.  You were a great Fleet Captain!

OT

Congratulations to our new fleet captain, Temple.  I know you'll enjoy the job and be a great service to the fleet.
On another topic, I was disappointed in the rule change regarding our anchors.  I understood the change to an 8 pound anchor rule was to make the weight uniform across all competitors and to promote safety.  And I am all for that ... but, here is where I disagree.
If a Capri 25 is currently carrying a lighter-weight anchor, they could logically add chain (or more chain) to get to the 8 pound minimum weight plus greatly increase the holding power of the hook with this extra chain.  This is a win-win solution.  The combined weight of the anchor, chain and rode all weights the same plus the holding power is greatly enhanced with more chain.
With the recent rule change, many owners will have to, unnecessarily, buy another anchor when the hook they already own could be easily retrofitted.  This was not well thought out.  In addition, there is a backhanded incentive to ditch existing chain, thus reducing the safety of the anchor.  It makes no sense.
I am not sure this was talked about amongst other Capri 25 owners.  I never got the impression that there was a rules "committee" involved in the decision where other points of view could be brought up.  I am concerned that the lack of forethought and logic will prompt a low level of compliance.
I feel sad that it might be too late. But I hope we could somehow re-address this issue.  I did not think it was my place, as fleet captain, to argue the point that night.
