style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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 face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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 face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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 face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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 face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">I’m not sure yet, but I
believe The Great 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 face="Comic Sans MS" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; 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>
