<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>For those of you who couldn’t make it to
The Great Racing Regatta, Dist.15 Championship we had plenty of great wind.
14-18 knots NNW sat. 25+++ SSW on Sunday. Sunny in the 60’s and 70’ Great wind
what more could you ask for?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>The regatta went very well and everything
ran very smoothly. The race committee as always did a stellar job of setting
the courses and getting the races going. The wind gods cooperated. The Becks
beer was flowing. A huge raffle full of very cool prizes, from Maui Jim
sunglasses to cases of Becks Beer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Look for the results on the Lake Geneva Yacht Club website.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Our local boats <b><span style='font-weight:
bold'>Hellfire,</span></b> Dave Bennett took a 3<sup>rd</sup> in the first
race, and a fourth in the 3<sup>rd</sup> race. Great job Dave & crew. Uncle
John Gjerde And Rolf Turnquist on <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>The World
Famous Oz</span></b>, [don’t mess with them] won the 3<sup>rd</sup> race, took
a 2<sup>nd</sup> in the fourth race, with the genoa up in 25 knots of breeze,
glad I didn’t have to bring that baby in. [changing to the hundo while planing
down the run before the race was over] Finishing 3<sup>rd</sup> overall in the
regatta, Very impressive!!! Scott Erdmann on <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>007
</span></b>took a 7<sup>th</sup> in the second race and a 9<sup>th</sup> in the
fifth race. Not too shabby for picking up half of his crew at Chuck’s Friday
night. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>We might have a chance to continue this
regatta by doing a combined J/24, Melges 24 event. With either separate courses
or alternating starts, and different upwind marks. We’ll see how this goes, it
just an idea and I’ve got to talk the Melges 24 kids into it. Keep your fingers
crossed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Does anyone have any pictures or know
someone who has any of boats sailing last weekend in Geneva??? We’ve got a
writer who is doing a story about the regatta and needs some pictures for the
article, which will be published in Sailing World and the J/24 Magazines. Let
me know if you can find any, Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>I have the annual District Governors
Meeting for the J/24 Class coming up the 16 of Oct. in Dallas Fort Worth,
Texas. I would like your input as to what you would like to see the J/24 class
do to better support it’s members, and promote J/24 sailing. Let me Know what’s
happening in your fleet. What regatta’s your planning on hosting or would like
to host. Boats for sale, looking for a boat?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Lakes Champ. Will be in our Dist. Next summer.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>The Dist. 15 [that’s us] Championship Regatta site and
the Great Lakes haven’t been decided upon yet. Does anyone want to host these
events? Wilmette or Milwaukee for the Great Lakes? Wayzata, Muskegon, Geneva
for the Districts?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Depending on if we can save the Geneva
Regatta one more time or not, might change some of the regatta schedules. If we
cant have Geneva regatta again the Wayzata, Lake Minnetonka Regatta might move
to the early Oct. time slot to fill that spot. Any other ideas?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
