[Capri25] 2020 season - stories & photos

[Hermann Klaas]

Well, I got almost no feedback re: this past season, but maybe that shouldn't come as a big surprise. Or, perhaps you were scrambling to get your boat hauled out and into storage. Regardless, I'd like to expand the search to include thoughts about next year. What are you most looking forward to (hopefully) having back again in 2021?

Personally, I think what this past season illustrated is that racing alone isn't enough, at least not in our fleet. And sadly, some of our crew members weren't able to participate at all due to crew limits. I'm optimistic that next year will be a whole lot better - that we'll have the entire fleet back in the water, race with full crew and trophies on the line, host a fantastic C-dock party in Aug, and pull out all the stops in Sept for SoTN. Sure, there might still be safety measures in place, but let's all get through this winter in good health, and make 2021 a fun and rewarding season!

Lastly, please remember to verify eligibility for trophy frames and glassware and opt-in as desired here: https://www.wyc.org/seasonclose. Unlike "normal" years, if you do nothing by the posted deadlines (11/1 for frames, 11/4 for glasses), it'll be assumed that you don't want those items this year.

Hello Capri fleet,

As many of you probably saw yesterday, WYC is hosting a virtual banquet on 11/14. As part of that event, I've been asked to share some of the most memorable moments from this past season. Considering the year we've had (and not had), this might take some extra thought. So, I'm asking you to think about what were the most special moments on your boat this year, racing or otherwise. For Maverick, it was an unforgettable anchor at sunset after a race, a sail with my neighbor's father (distinguished ex-racer) who had "one of the best days of his life", a spirited cruise with friends on a "top 10" afternoon. You all have your own stories, and I can't wait to hear them.

In addition, I'm looking for photos to contribute to the slideshow. It would be great to have 1 or 2 nice shots from every boat. If you could respond to me by end of day Sunday with your stories/memories and photos, that would be great.

Thanks,
Hermann
