J/22 sailors from around the country will be coming to our club to compete June 20 – 23, 2019. We are looking for people to open their house up to sailor teams. Now, I know opening your house up to complete strangers can be a little unnerving, but someone opened up their house to my team at the J22 Worlds. And, honestly, it was one of the best parts of the entire trip for us and them. Please let me know if you would like to become a WYC super hero and host a team for this event or if you are a solid maybe depending on summer plans. I guarantee that you will enjoy the experience. Below are some benefits and common concerns about hosting a team. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:47.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>Benefits of hosting a team. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:83.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>You get to meet other cool sailors from around the country. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:83.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>You can share your local knowledge of the lake. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:83.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>People you host are super appreciative and it is fun to bring joy to the world. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:83.25pt;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>For a lot of people, cost is a major factor in choosing to come to a regatta.
