[S2] 2016 SotN Sailing Instructions - Invitation to edit DEADLINE

[Tom Elsen]

Hey Everyone - 

Fall is ALWAYS the best sailing on Minnetonka. And the Star of the North is just a great, fun, well-run event. Likely the best WYC event of the year for us. Lots of racing. Lots of fun. Minimum $$. 

All of the organizers have put in a ton of work to make it great. 

So.....please.....respond to Odell Tuttle (address above in this email)
Let him know your status for this event -
---- We (boat name) are in
---- We (boat name) are out
---- We (boat name) are (X)% likely to be in

Please do this today. 
Thanks.

Please have a look at these Sailing Instructions for the 2016 SotN and Sonar Midwest Championships. There are a handful of questions in the document that could use your feedback. In particular, Ken: we need some answers in reconciling this with Sonar National Association Class Rules.
