<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi All,<br>
Last night I had a great conversation with Kathy Lindgren, the new executive
director of the Sheboygan Sailing center. Hans is still involved, but
rolls have changed. <br>
<br>
<b>Sheboygan Team Racing Regatta<br>
</b>She is excited to do another Invitational Sheboygan Team Race
Regatta. She said our event last year is all the buzz at the Sheboygan YC
and they all want to learn to team race. They still have the 8 Sonars so
we planned a 9 Sonar event with 3 teams like last year. Marty has
volunteered to tow his boat over as the 9th boat. I haven't talked to
Chris Fittipalti about maybe talking his new boat #820 over so they would all
be the same new Ontario boats. The dates that work best for them are the
last weekend in Aug 27-28-29, somewhat preferred or the 1st weekend in Aug
7-8-9. I told her they work for Fleet #5 as I'm currently making up the
WYC schedule can move things around to accommodate the event. I told her
I would to get back to her in a day or two.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:center'><b><span
style='font-size:18.0pt'>Please email ASAP your preferred date for going to
Sheboygan :-)</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>SOTN Regatta and the WYC Sonar Team Race Regatta<br>
</b>Team Racing is such a buzz at S YC she could bring 3 or 6 Sonars over for
our Team R Regatta, but the date can't conflict with what they have scheduled
with US Sailing. We settled on Oct 1-2-3. As the Canadians will
bring 3 boats to both the SOTN and stay for the Team Race Regatta, Carmella and
I will schedule SOTN the weekend before, Sept, 24-25-26. In this way it
won't interfere with the WYC Championship, S2 7.9 Nationals or the Commodore
Cup. It looks like we will have Teams from: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Sheboygan <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Winnipeg <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>WYC Team #1 <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>WYC Team #2 (maybe) <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class=MsoNormal>If we have 4 teams, we will have two team pairs (12 boats)
on the course at the same time. If we had 3 umpires for each flight we
would need 6 umpire boats and 6 umpires. We may not be able to manage
that for this first regatta, but maybe 2 umpires for each flight for a total of
4. Don Becker, international umpire, who stayed at my house for the
Richardson said he will come back to umpire our Team race regatta, if it fits
his schedule. He will be in Sheboygan the week before umpiring the US
Sailing National Match Race Championship and hopefully will be able to drive
over to WYC, stay with me, and umpire our event. There is also the
possibility Dave Pelling, the America's Cup Umpire who was the Chief Umpire at
the last two Richardson cups the WYC (and who drove my red car for all 4 days
of the regatta-he love it-he was styling) will co to umpire our regatta.
I'm thinking we will have 3 days of racing with a debrief each day at end of
racing with these guys as they did for the Richardson. I hope we
can get Bruce Martinson to umpire. The Seager bothers (Scott & Brent)
are umpires in training and we might get them to Sheboygan for more training
and also for our regatta.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bert<o:p></o:p></p>
