face="Times New Roman" size=3>- February 11th, Friday, 6:00pm: Advanced Rules
Seminar<BR>The rules have been updated this year and we're flying in Cliff Black
<BR>(Regional Area Judge for Area K) to do a rules seminar specifically focused
<BR>on intermediate and advanced level sailors/tacticians. This seminar may very
<BR>well sell out, so we strongly recommend pre-registering by mailing in your
<BR>check right now.<BR>More info and registration form:<BR></FONT><A

face="Times New Roman" size=3>- February 12th-13th, Saturday-Sunday, Judges
Workshop and Exam<BR>This is the material that can help make you a double black
diamond rules <BR>guru on the race course. More importantly, you really need to
be a certified <BR>judge to live the elite and glamorous lifestyle of a sailing
judge. This is <BR>a two day seminar with a test at the end, so it's a big deal.
If you want to <BR>truly take your sailing to the next level, sign up for this
class. I'm not <BR>positive about this, but I you probably have to
pre-registered for this to <BR>insure they have materials for you.<BR></FONT><A
