[J22-Fleet 1] Match Racing

[Lars Hansen]

We had a good small turnout for our informational meeting. Rumor is that 
some of you match racers felt it beneath you and chose not to attend, 
thats fine, hope someone will loan you their notes. :-)
We went over the basics and talked about how we will play without judges 
and officials.

This coming Monday we will try to have some match racing starting at 
6:30 on the water in front of the club. I encouraged the group to get 
their teams together and to try and practice as a team. For this Monday 
we will race with mains and jibs only. Then we will schedule a series of 
alternating Monday nights for "Match Racing Mondays". Then later in the 
summer we will have a "championship" series. This may also become our 
Richardson Trophy club qualifier.

We need to know who is showing up on Monday and who is bringing a boat 
and who has their team and who needs crew? Also which boats are 
available for the teams that don't have boats? Do we have a set of 
marks? Does anybody want to come out and watch? We could put you to work 
if you are interested.
I'll be out of town this weekend but back in time for Monday.
