<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>ISSUE: between Bull’s
comments (well written, BTW) and Bert’s response, it was circa 10
paragraphs and it took 3 minutes to read. And that’s just two guys
... if we have upwards of 30 Capri sailors at the meeting, we could easily chew
up 2 hours on this issue alone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As fleet captain, I have to draw
some boundaries. We can allocate 1 hour to this issue. That is to
say, 30 minutes on schedule changes and 30 minutes on rules – more or
less. After that time, we will need to vote, make decisions or reconvene after
further study.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Let’s talk about structure.
My concern is that this could spiral into hours and hours –
evolving into less than productive event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The feedback I got from you below is what I received from a
number of people during my numerous conversations about this subject. However,
I want to remind you that I also received numerous responses of people that
said, "I don't race on Sunday because I want the want to spend time with
the family, however, I would be delighted to race the rumbles in the Bay three
times during the summer. I would even put together my best crew and try to win
some of those one day regattas." I also received responses from a number
of people who said, "I don't race on Sunday because it's family day, but I
would race those three one day regattas, probably with my children."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>So we have had various responses, and we don't know for sure
what is going to be popular. However, there been enough responses of people who
want the rumble in the Bay that were going to run it. Jared has been running
similar rumbles in the Bay for the laser races and the team races by himself in
the Whaler with flags on sticks Shorewood also runs it with just one person on
the committee boat. So the expense will be very modest. One of the problems
that the WIC faces, which is different from all the yacht clubs on the coast
that I have visited is that the WYC runs many more races during the summer the
nose coast scratch that than the yacht clubs on the coast, and therefore, there
is an interest by people in these much larger boats to have unusual races for
families, including picking up the greased watermelon, special kind of scoring
in her for having children on board, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have discussed the new
schedule with the crew of Magic and wanted to provide you with feedback from
our boat. It was the unanimous opinion of our crew that we would be in favor of
the revised schedule, not because we are interested in doing Rumbles on the
Bay, but because we are in favor of having at least 1 weekend a month where we
can schedule other activities without having to miss a Champ Series race. We
almost certainly would not participate in the Rumbles as the crew would prefer
to have that weekend to cruise in Bayfield or on Lake Michigan or catch up on
work around the house. I would prefer the club save the expense of the
extra race committee to run the Rumbles and instead schedule one weekend a
month for a fun event on the main lake or at the club that did not count in any
series, but where those who wanted to be on the water could do so. Maybe a PREF
race series where everyone raced everyone with a reverse handicap start to take
the pressure off the start. Maybe a race where you improved your score by 1
point for every sailor under 21 on the boat, 2 points if they helm. If you
schedule the “fun” weekends without Champ races on Memorial Day,
Race Week and Labor Day, this may also help those in Bayfield get crew. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I wanted to provide you with our
input to help in your decision making. We all appreciate everything you and the
race committee do to make WYC a very successful and fun place to race. Looking
forward to your party in a couple weeks. Thanks for the invite. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
