If there are 1 or 2 experienced racers who would like to go out in the crazy conditions and somebody from one of the fleets wants to take them, I don't have a problem with that. However Ernie and I do not think we put the brand-new people on the water in the cold at these wind velocities, and so, we're going to try to make it a good event for them and need some help with the schedule below and schmoozing our guests so they take away a good feeling about the WYC and the event they paid money for.

So we have planned some different special parts of the event (see the schedule below) that will help you to prepare for crewing sailboat races.  Terry Foster of the WYC was many time champion both of the WYC and nationally is going to give a talk on "How to Be a Sailboat Racing Crew". I'm good to talk about stuff that will be of interest to you at the yacht club so you can more smoothly integrate your program of becoming a sailboat racing sailor. Work and have the nice grilled lunch with beer and wine, and hope to help you get integrated into the WYC.
