Hello Fleet 5

 

Here's an attempt to organize the business and discussion for the meeting on
Saturday, 8:00 sharp, Kvale's.  Hopefully this agenda helps you all get
through it all efficiently.  Good Luck!  As you may recall, I can't be
there.  I'm sure many will share their ideas but, in particular, I invite
those of you who have joined the fleet in recent years to share your
perspective, please!  Various people are mentioned below next to topics.  If
you're not able to be there to lead that area of discussion, please delegate
as best you can.  Thanks, MF

 

Tom K,. in past years it was nice when the meeting location could be
separate from the socializing location.  Might you have some separate space
in the basement or garage that could be used for the meeting?

 

 

OLD or  RECURRING BUSINESS:

       Fleet Officer Slate -  I believe we're entering the second season of
our two-season terms, correct?

              Fleet Cpt.  -  Marty Fossen

              Fleet Treasurer  -  Sarah Olmstead

              Fleet Secretary  -  Howard Noreen

        Any impeachments? resignations?   

             As for myself, I'm willing to continue if you all allow it, but
if someone else is wanted and wants to do it, I can be flexible.

Somebody talked about "fleet BY-Laws".   I met With Randy Gould, J-24 Fleet
Captain who has researched Fleet By-laws.  We can discuss

        Lonar Date?  Traditionally it's been in place of Big Island 3.  The
effect to the BI series scoring

Must be in fleet special rules with the Sis for that race

        Star of the North Regatta, and it's effect on C series scoring

Must be in fleet special rules

        Should we continue the idea of awarding average points to a boat
when they miss a WYC race when attending an out-of-town Sonar event?

Must be in fleet special rules

 

        Bert and Ernest, could you explain how we get the scoring changes
made official with WYC's system?

 

       Sonar Sunday Snacks - when to expect to see a schedule

        Running with the theme, a suggestion was offered to add a Thursday
treats.  Discussion?

 

       Hosting B-Series party  (volunteers to organize?)

 

        Any other old business, unresolved issues from last season?

 Support SON?  How?

How to run Tean Racing Regatta

Team Race Practises?



       

FLEET 5 TREASURY

 

     Treasurer's report (Sarah)

 

     Fleet member dues - Historically $20/boat/season.  Same this year?

     Discussion on usage of fleet money, discussion of process/rules about
money usage

                       historically money outlays for B-series party only,
other Sonar events have been self supporting

     By the way, we now have a WYC Sonar Fleet 5 checking account

Is it a Flagship? Do we have a PAY Pay?

 

NEW BUSINESS

      Zebra mussels, their effect on our boats, outboards, moorings, slips,
other facilities

      Boat lift option, historically Sonars wet-sailed but if lifts are
desired to aid with Zebra mussel issue, is that okay with everybody?

 This is an issue the WYC BOD needs to discuss.  There are slip width
problems, depth, and blocking people on the lawn's view.

    Other New Business

 

Are their old Fleet 5 bylaws available for review?  How about minutes on
past meetings and decisions?  

If so, perhaps they could be added to our Sonar fleet page within WYC.org

 

We can have all of this on the Fleet 5 web page at the WYC.

 

 We need to discuss with Bert, RC Chair, how we like the Trap course with us
always.  The S2s have talked to me about not liking the left course because
they don't like the reach and don't like
