<DIV><SPAN class=640211616-24042007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 2007 sailing season is less than a week away and I was very encouraged to see so many J22s already in the water @ WYC. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=640211616-24042007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hopefully your plans and preparations for the upcoming <A href="http://www.wyc.org/j22/cool.htm">Cool Icebreaker</A> are going well and I am confident we will have another good turnout for the first regatta of the season.

<DIV><SPAN class=640211616-24042007></SPAN><SPAN class=640211616-24042007><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have some great sponsors on board again this year. HellyHansen and Iniki.com will be providing regatta gear as trophies this year. I am happy to report that Kattack has come on board as Cool Icebreaker sponsor. Kattack units will be available for pickup on Saturday morning. Replay will follow after racing. John Klick and GeeTeez have teamed up to create new 2007 Fleet # 1 T-shirts. And Absolut Vodka will once again be on board as our entertainment sponsor. Thank you to all of these companies for sponsoring our fleet. It really makes a difference. And please be sure to keep these fine establishments in mind when you are out shopping for sailing gear and supplies. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
