<OL dir=ltr>
<LI>
<DIV align=left><SPAN class=593412822-10022012><FONT color=#0000ff
face=Arial>The WYC Race Committee will at the request of the fleet supply both
the RC boats and profissional Race Officers to run the event under sailing
instructions supplied by the fleet and reviewed by the RC chair. The
fleet will be billed for the Race officers and fuel. This plan could be
as little as one WYC PRO and two volunteers supplied by the
fleet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=left><SPAN class=593412822-10022012><FONT color=#0000ff

provided they have a qualified boat driver approved by the
RC.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></LI>

<DIV align=left><SPAN class=593412822-10022012><FONT color=#0000ff

<DIV align=left><SPAN class=593412822-10022012><FONT color=#0000ff

in the Fleet could figure this out. It would be nice to use Government
Navigation marks, but they might be in water too shallow for the Capri 25 to
round.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></LI>

<DIV align=left><SPAN class=593412822-10022012><FONT color=#0000ff
face=Arial>In running a professional night race, like they run in Lake
Superior, you want to have RC boats at each buoy with very bright spot
lights to record all boats rounding the mark as it is easy for a race
boat to miss a mark at night and not be seen.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></LI></OL>

2012<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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<BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>One item for the agenda for tomorrow's Capri fleet meeting I
would like to add is the <B>Capri Night Cup</B>. 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
