<DIV><SPAN class=732022315-10042006><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<STRONG><U>Mooring and docking</U></STRONG>. 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.

<STRONG><U>C-Dock Party</U></STRONG>. 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!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<STRONG><U>Regatta Dinner Planning/Cooking/Serving/Cleanup</U></STRONG>.
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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
