<FONT FACE="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>In an effort to update the J24 section of the website in the near future, I'm scheduling a "picture day" for June 4th right before and possibly even after the 5th A-Series race. Be sure to have your crew show up early so we can get some photos prior to the race. We'll schedule a Thursday shoot as well as many of the crews are different on those days. Wear your best cut-offs and wife-beater tee’s! <BR>
<BR>
I’ve talked with some of the other fleet members in the last couple of weeks and have received some suggestions around events, family friendly parties, team racing, crew (not wife) swapping in order to make the season more interesting and spur participation. I’ll be communicating those ideas and getting buy-in from boat owners in order to move some of those great ideas forward.<BR>

Saturdays:<BR>
</B>Believe it or not, we do have racing on Saturdays at WYC. The Big Island series is a lot of fun. One of the things we can do for this series is a format (rather informal one) that Hellfire and Kryptonite (typically the only J24’s present in the past few years) have done is “crew at the helm”. Why not have some of your less experience drivers take the helm this year and submit your boat the the Big Island series. It’s a great race and quite a few boats from the other fleets do participate in this series. <BR>
<BR>
The appeal of the series other than cruising around Big Island is that it’s a great way to start the day and you should have your boat put away by noon and be able to enjoy the rest of your Saturday. If you’re on a crew and don’t have a boat, there are always boats that will pick you up for the race. (Hint: we could use an able body tomorrow).<BR>

See you on the lake,<BR>
