<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, Sonar Fleet 5! We hope all of you are doing well!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What a year 2020 was! As you may recall, WYC was selected to host the Sonar North Americans in 2020, but unfortunately, the pandemic forced us to postpone the regatta to 2021. That brings us to now, where there are encouraging signs all
around that we will have a more “normal” sailing season this year. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Sonar Class Association (SCA) and WYC Board are open and interested in our fleet hosting the 2021 Sonar North Americans September 17-19, 2021 (Friday - Sunday). Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire, is hosting Sonar Worlds in 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because the SCA believes there is pent-up demand for regatta participation by sailors, the event can be as low-key or event-filled as desired by our fleet, our club, its volunteers, and governed safety precautions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While we both were excited to chair the 2020 NAs, we decided we cannot take on this total effort in 2021. Personal and work demands have altered our lives for the time being.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will volunteer via remote sessions until we are vaccinated. The areas best suited for us to volunteer are financial (bookkeeping/budgets) and technology (social media, scoring, website, document library, and scheduling remote sessions
via Microsoft Teams - we both have paid licenses). You can likely guess who would do what ;-). We have a 2020 North American Planning OneNote notebook we can share or copy.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please share your thoughts with the fleet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Respectfully,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hans Dickel and Chandra Wobschall<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sonar 810 Batmobile Rises<o:p></o:p></p>
