<BR><BR><BR>MPLS BOAT SHOW<BR>Starts today and runs through Sunday. They are
making an effort this year to have events of sailing interest. Gordy is doing
some fine Youth and Ice Boat seminars during the week, Roger Swanson will speak
<STRONG>tonight at 6:00pm</STRONG> on his sail of the NW Passage this past
summer, and there's no shortage of cruising seminars. <BR>Boatshow: <A

the word, make it happen. <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>SAILING CENTER C.U.P.<BR>Have we asked you to
attend enough city meetings over the past couple years? Well, there's at least
one more, and it's important. <STRONG>Monday Feb 4th, we'll meet at WYC
Clubhouse at 7:00pm.</STRONG> At WYC we'll watch the proceedings on the TV and
when they get close to our time we'll saunter down to city hall to represent.
Because kids will be present, chances are city hall will put us early on the
agenda. <BR><BR><BR>SUV DONATION<BR>Are you replacing your towing vehicle?
Does your present truck, van or SUV have 50,000 miles left in it?
The Wayzata Community Sailing Center is looking for a donation of such a vehicle
to replace their van. The current van is approaching 200K miles and needs
replacement. Your donation would be for use rather than resale. You
will receive the full deductible value of your vehicle. Contact Ernie at

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DOES ROVER FLOAT?<BR>Wayzata Land Rover will be
setting up shop at WYC during the Chili Open for test drives. All WYC members
have been invited to come and take a Rover out for a test drive on the lake
from<STRONG> 1-3pm on February 9th</STRONG>. Really, they offered to let
us take expensive toys we don't own out on the lake for a "test drive".
Seriously, I'm not making this up. Clearly they have never attended a boat race
at WYC. Maybe we'll set up some buoys for starts and roundings to show 'em how
it's done. More info at... <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>KATTACK AT KEY WEST<BR>Props
to Kattack for tracking Key West this week on Sailing Anarchy. Some

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PRINT WEATHERMARK<BR>Has video killed the radio
star? Looks like it. We're going to try and phase out the very expensive print
weathermark and move to exclusively online news. You'll still be able to print
out Steve's Weathermark (if you want) and read it on the couch, but you'll
also be able to view archives and search for old stories. Look for notification
(via postal mail) in the next couple weeks of this happening. And make sure you
and your friends are registered for e-blasters to be notified when real news
happens. We're also working on an all new website with fancy new features and
"community tools" for <STRONG>2008</STRONG>. Look for a gradual
rollout of the new site starting...uh....now. <BR>More at <A
