<div dir="ltr">Honestly Saturday morning racing is probably the best day to race. The lake is not as crowded and the fleets are not as large so the traffic around the race course is not as big an issue. Sunday and Thursday racing are not nearly as good with the exception of having more 22's on the line on a Thursday. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">Best Regards,<br><br>Erik Ahlquist</div></div>

the kids on onboard. We need to continue to grow our fleet and youth are the way to do it. I’d love to see more family / kid racing and kid skippers and time slot of Saturday mornings is the best way to accomplish this goal.

<b>Subject:</b> [J22-Fleet 1] Combined Championship Series with MYC<u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks,<u></u><u></u></p><div><div class="h5">
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We sadly learned this week that MYC's J/22 fleet is dissolving. They now have only two active boats, and those boats have chosen to race in the "Open" category. As a result, it was suggested at MYC that their portion of the Combined Championship
Series (10 races total, sailed back-to-back, on 5 Saturday mornings), be eliminated. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many of us consider the Combined Championship Series a key part, if not the core, of weekend racing. <span style="font-size:10.0pt">In reviewing the results from last year's Combined Championships, WYC had 11 boats participate, and 7 of
those raced most of the races. Going back further, the number of J/22's sailing most races has actually increased each of the past 4 years. And with 3 new boats in our fleet for 2106, we expect those numbers to grow this year. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have sent several emails to racers seeking input. All have been in favor of finding a way to continue the series. To that end, I have spoken with Mark Christensen, MYC J/22 #390, who has been most helpful. He indicated that MYC's J/22
fleet has been paying a fee, to cover the incremental costs associated with a separate start. Mark suggested we contact the MYC Race Committee, with an offer to pay that same amount, which is a one-time total of $390. If we do this, the fee could be covered
by those participating paying an "event" fee, or by adding a small amount to fleet dues. In either case, if 10 boats participate, cost of $39 seems a reasonable one.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, the matter is time sensitive, as both the MYC and WYC schedules are on hold waiting for a resolution. As such, based on input received, I am going to make a proposal to MYC this Thursday on our fleet's behalf to cover the
incremental costs of $390 for 2016. Again, this is a proposal, we won't know until their RC considers it.<u></u><u></u></p>
