For those that attended, we had great weather for the All J Boat Rumble.</p>

The All J Rumble was intended to be a “proof of Concept” on how to run an event with J22’s, J24’s and J/70’s prior to the U-Gotta. Race committee costs are one of the larger budget items and being able to do more with less is very important.</p>

The feedback I’ve heard is there is some negativity around the trapezoid course.

I need everyone to understand, we are trying something new. We are trying to do more with the same staff. We haven’t done a trapezoid course for a regatta. Was it a success or failure, some say fail, others say it was fine.</p>

We are going to run two separate race courses like we do for the M series in the bay with two starting areas and to finishing areas.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

We are very fortunate that we have both the Boats and the Staff to run this and the Commodore Cup at the same time.</p>

The J/70 fleet is very thankful to be invited to the U-Gotta Regatta hosted by the J/24 fleet. One of the fleet members said he will foot the bill for the additional race committee expense to run a two race course event. So there will be NO additional race
committee cost to the U-Gotta.</p>

We do need 3 race committee volunteers. This has been standard practice for many years. The regatta committee provides one volunteer per race committee boat. We need three volunteers to help run U-Gotta.</p>
