                        ever been held in this location and overall the venue 
                        proved to be a success. The facilities, regatta staff,

                        started off the week with a sailing clinic held by Chris 
                        Snow, Andrew Kerr and Chuck Allen from North Sails. The 
                        clinic was kicked off by a 2-hour presentation that was 
                        interrupted briefly by 25 knots of wind and rain. Upon 
                        moving inside, the weather changed back to its normal 
                        clear skies and 65 degree temperatures for a beautiful 
                        sunset. The on-the-water clinic took place the next day 
                        for another 2 hours with the North team running around 
                        in the Apex chase boat coaching on-boat handling, 
                        starting tactics and general J/24 tips. In the end, we

                        conditions on Lake Dillon held up to the mountain 
                        reputation. We had conditions ranging from hail and 55 
                        degrees to sunny skies and 85 degree temperatures. The 
                        drill on most days was to start in shorts and t-shirts, 
                        going to full foul weather gear, and ending back in 
                        shorts and t-shirts to end the day. Winds were about the 
                        same as the temperature patterns. The winds were very 
                        typical of lake sailing conditions with lots of land 
                        influences and 'oh yah' completely random unexplained 
                        mountain shifts. Wind velocity was light to heavy with a 
                        few surfing downwind adventures. Competitors were 
                        treated to three great meals over the course of the 
                        races. Quantum Sails sponsored one of the meals, 
                        provided registration sail bag packets, and sail bag 
                        gifts to our race committee. Overall the days ended with

                        sunsets in the mountains, Odell's 90 schilling and IPA
