<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>JR and I have had some discussions about
this year’s Mallory Cup. In case you are unaware the Mallory Cup is
the U.S. Men’s Sailing Championship. The Finals will be raced this
year in Sonars in Marblehead, MA on September 19-23. Attending this
regatta is based on winning one of the country’s 11 Area qualifiers.
We all reside in Area K, and as you can see in the email below there is
currently no qualifier scheduled. In such a case the Area would select a representative
based on resumes.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The WYC Sonar fleet could have the
opportunity to host this semi-final event for the chance to compete in the
Finals against some of the countries best sailors. The current US Men’s
Champion is WYC Sonar fleet bred Zak Fanberg. He has won this regatta the
past three years. That’s a feat that has only been accomplished by one
other US sailor; Buddy Melges. He won the event in 1959, ’60 and ’61.
The list of past Champions is a who’s who of US sailing; George O’Day
(as in the boat), John Kolius, Paul Forester, Jeff Madrigali and many others.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>To host such an event it would need to be
organized quickly in recognition of the Finals dates. The fleet would
have to provide boats for others to race. It shouldn’t be assumed
that fleet could just go out and battle each other. Crews are made up of
a team of 3 (men or women), but the helmsman must be male. Check the US
Sailing website for further details.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>My involvement in fleet five has dropped
considerably this year from previous due to other commitments, but I’d
love the opportunity to help facilitate such an event (and probably sail) if
the boat owners thought this was an opportunity worth taking on. The WYC
schedule is jam packed with events already but could be run in a two-day mid
week format. Similar to the Sears Cup qualifier scheduled for July.
Or possibly a Friday/Saturday event in Wayzata Bay. </span></font></p>
