[J22-Fleet 1] ADA regatta

Wed Jun 7 09:44:43 CDT 2006

Hi J-22s

Is anyone thinking of doing the ADA?  I want to get some practice time on
the 22 before NAs and I have ADA weekend open.  

Regards
Jonathan 

PS - One of the Mumm 30 sailors put together some pod cast of the Mumm 30
Nood in Annapolis and the Farr 40's this is fascinating to listen to.

Greetings;

If you lack the time to read this whole page jump to the bottom and read the
"I don't have time for this crap summary".

I have watched with much entertainment and chagrin at the discussions
regarding the class management. I routinely receive a newsletter and book
from the Star, Laser, j105 and J-24 class all of which i participate in. If
we will see a change remains to be seen. I have lots of input, but prefer a
receptive place to give it .

However i also i have learned that it is far better to create something than
argue about how it is being done. This inspires people and good things
happen.

With that in mind i created a Podcast from the last mumm 30 event in
Annapolis. I dislocated my shoulder sailing my Laser in March, and has left
me useless and rendered to the tender, albeit a comfortable one with a CD
player and bow thruster to play with.

I purposely asked about posting this on the web site, but was told it would
need content approval from the class. Bullocks!

So here it the unedited non-stagg approved version of what
happened.......................please read this entirely!!!!!

Please Distribute to your list of owners and various race fans.

Racer Chaser Podcast of the Mumm 30 Fleet I have finished Day 1 & 2 editing
and publishing...

Right now I am posted on Apple itunes.com..if you don't have it you can
download it free...at....

 <outbind://244/www.itunes.com> www.itunes.com

Directions on Itunes

On Itunes.com, download itunes so you can download and transfer to your ipod
or mp3 player Click podcasts on the middle left menu In the Search box on
the lower left search for Racer Chaser (or mumm 30, yachting, ) You can
Listen to it right there or you can download to your mp3 player or Ipod as
intended...

Please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, this will help up our popularity numbers on
itunes and increase traffic on the website for the class

RSS Feed

If you can't program your VCR (or you are adapted/wealthy/successful enough
to pay someone to do your Tech crap for you I might lose you here, but old
dogs can learn new tricks) RSS feeds various home pages automatically as I
add updates. If you use Mozilla Firefox  <outbind://244/www.mozilla.com>
www.mozilla.com as a web browser, it has a RSS plug in, giving you updates
as I make them. Google also has a reader that you can use if you use google
as a hompage or default search. Any RSS reader will accept the magical link
below. Ultimately we will attempt to get the Mumm 30 page updated with this
link, so whenever I do a post it will appear. I will leave this up to the
Class to get this done as soon as possible. The more links and downloads the
more traffic the site gets. Next move is to change the site to something a
little more exciting. I have a day job trying to help Bodo pay for our
sailing habit..so for now I will stick to podcasts..I will accept donations
in the form of good will to the class, sailing and humanity in general.

Here is the rss feed...
