[Sonar] Sailing Rules Seminar January 17th!

[Bert Foster]

Hi All,
Carmella and I are attending.  In fact Dave Perry is staying at my 
house.  As a result of an email from Fred Sommer (trying to encourage 
people to serve as judges) the WYC BOD voted to pay the seminar cost 
for the club members who were US Sailing Certified Judges, Fred 
Sommer, me, and Bruce Martinson (he's in the Bahamas as a judge at a 
Laser regatta), and half the cost for the judges in training, Bob 
Carpenter and Jon Peterson.  Bob and I abstained on the vote

On March 21-22 we are having a US Sailing Judges Workshop open to 
anyone who wants to take the test and become a certified judge, or 
just wants to learn the rules in great depth over 2 days.  This is a 
very technical and complex analysis workshop.

After the workshop I will update my overhead slides to be able to 
teach the revised rules.  I'm leaving for Florida the end of March 
and will return the end of April.

In May I will spend the first two Tuesday evening seminar sessions 
teaching the rules with emphasis on the changes.  We may move them to 
the Ridgedale Library to hold more than the club.

Is there a need for something else?
I suggest everyone get Dave Perry's new book (order online at US 
Sailing on Monday's sale days), study it, and come to the May session 
to clear up questions.

Regards,
Bert
