FALL REGATTA
First Minnetonka City Bank ( http://www.fmcbank.com ) continues as our 
longtime sponsor of the Fall Regatta. We're looking at great fall weather 
and even nicer trophies this year from our sponsor. Two races on Saturday 
and one race on Sunday. Chilli and Football after the regatta!

THURSDAY PARKING
One night left, but consider this a practice run for the future. If you're 
too late to find a parking spot or too cheap to buy a crew membership, 
please park in the Wayzata Bay Shopping Center lot rather than on 
neighborhood streets in front of someone's home. The walk is about the same, 
your car is safer, and you might find something useful at one of the many 
fine business' at Wayzata Bay Shopping Center ( 
http://www.wayzatabaycenter.com ).

U-GOTTA
This historic annual fall gathering of the rockstars will take place on 
October 7th ad 8th. This year it's a J24 Worlds Qualifier, so expect extra 
yelling and shouting at the start lines and mark roundings. Visit 
http://www.wyc.org/j24/ugotta.html to learn more and see the great new J24 
website that Holly Jo put together for the fleet.

J22 NA's
Everyone really came through for a great event that showcased Lake 
Minnetonka. Thank you to Thorn Turner and too many other people to list that 
made the chaos look so organized. There were J22 racers, sailors from the 
Capri and Sonar fleets, significant support from the MYC half of Fleet One 
and many more. Great Work! http://j22northamericans.com/

FOUNDATION CUP
America's Cup style racing will once again return to WYC this fall during 
the Commodore's Cup. In the name of charity you will be able to BUY YOUR 
RACING WINS. Write a check and your boat will magically find extra boat 
speed, just like the golden era of robber baron yacht racers. Stay tuned for 
more info. http://www.wyc.org/wsf

WSS FALL PROGRAMS
Fall Programs are now in swing with three regattas scheduled for October. 
Classes are nearly full, but it's not too late to get involved. All kids 
invited, members or non-members, sailors or non-sailors, no equipment 
required. http://www.wayzatasailing.org/r-Fall-Program.htm
