<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Steve, as one who has spent much learning time
in the back of the Rolex Womens International Keelboat Championship fleet, I
agree with you! The thrill of being there and competing with stellar sailors is
unforgettable! And one heck of a learning experience. Carol Pine, Hot

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Some of you are aware and others
may not that Jon Noller and I have been out campaigning for sponsorship funds
to support our sailing habit, more specifically the 2006 J22 North American
Championships. Often we refer potential sponsors to our web site at <A
href="http://www.j22northamericans.com">www.j22northamericans.com</A> . When a
sponsor is considering funding our regatta they quickly assess the exposure
they are going to receive. I’m appealing to all J22s to sign up for the
regatta even if you are tentative at this point. It won’t cost you anything
but a little bit of your time to register. It will help Jon and I greatly if
our current and potential sponsors could see all 25 or 30 Fleet One boats
signed up! 7 of the 17 boats currently signed up are from out state! Add
our 30 and we would be at 37 boats which will act as a catalyst to pull in
other out state boats wondering if there will be enough boats registered to
make it a worth while trip! I believe people allocate their vacation time in
April and May for their summer activities and we would like them to allocate
some time for the 2006 J22 North Americans this September!

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Now to appeal to those of you like
me that usually finish in the back half of the fleet. My crew and I have
traveled to J22 Worlds in <st1:City w:st="on">Corpus Christi</st1:City> and to
the 2005 North Americans in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oklahoma
City</st1:place></st1:City>. Both times we finished nearly dead last but we
learned a ton and had a blast from the experience. 60 boats going over the
line is a trip! So my message is please don’t let the enormity of the
2006 North Americans, being held in our own backyard, sway you from
participating! <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
