> Right now everyone thinks that Dave Van Cleef got second place at the 
> Wealth Enhancement Group J22 North Americans. He did not. He was 
> disqualified  from all the races. Most of our guests at the regatta left 
> thinking the club, the protest committee and the awards committee made a 
> huge mistake by letting Dave Van Cleef go home with the trophies. Unless 
> we explain the rules, the procedure and the final outcome, that is what 
> people will remember "Washergate" and how we let the guy who was 
> disqualified from racing walk away with all the second place trophies.
> Let's show the world we did the right thing.
> Time to finish this and put it to bed.
> The measurement protest was upheld and the appeal denied.

> I need to mail a copy of the updated results to all the competitors of 
> the Wealth Enhancement Group J22 NA championship. To do this I will need 
> a list of all the names and addresses of the competitors at the 2006

> I will write a short update about the protest and appeal to be included 
> with the results and the request to have all the trophies shipped back

> I need help to address, package. stamp and mail  the results.

> I need to collect all the trophies awarded at the event and send them to 
> their rightful owners or send each skipper a box and address so they can 
> forward the trophies.. This will take some time so lets jump on this to 
> get it sorted out. We are not done yet
> 
> If  I can have all the parts by Friday then with the help of 3-4 people 
> and an hour of time we will be done. I'll buy the Beer and Mount Gay

> site, North, Quantum, Scuttlebutt, SA and many more web sites all point 
> to a page that is dead. I know we saved some money by doing this lets
