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."

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='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Looking forward to seeing you all at the Capri 25 party and discussing this whole schedule situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Regards, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bert<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Dutch Bull [<a href="mailto:dbull@northernim.com">mailto:dbull@northernim.com</a>] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 29, 2012 6:31 AM<br><b>To:</b> Bert Foster<br><b>Cc:</b> Lew Sacks (<a href="mailto:lewsacks@yahoo.com">lewsacks@yahoo.com</a>); <a href="mailto:wglaughlin1@juno.com">wglaughlin1@juno.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [Capri25] Capri 25 2013 Annual Meeting and Party<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Bert,<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 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.
