I heard back from only a few folks on the first round, but here is a
proposed schedule for 2007 as well as some questions (at the bottom) for
everyone.
I believe the popular plan was that each race we approve counts for the
season series (we'll figure out number of races to qualify and throwout
schedule once the season is final). Long Distance races also count for a
Long Distance trophy (ie, they count for the season as well).
The schedule below has approximately 2 events each month. July is a bit of
a mess right now, but expect the Nationals to be held in July at Tiburon YC.
Will is working on the details. It might be nice to get a TYC pre-nationals
scheduled in mid June or right before the Nationals if possible.
September is light, but lots of folks race BBS, so perhaps that is OK.
Here are the proposed races

Removed double-handed Lightship from list - it is being held the same day as
the crewed Lightship
Removed StFYC Memorial day race as none is scheduled.
Removed the Plastic Classic, as it is the same date as the Simpson Regatta,
and Simpson is historically better attended.
Here are some questions I'd love for everyone to answer:
Q: Did you get this mail (so I can make sure everyone got it)?
Q: Which of the above races would you expect to attend and/or think belong
on the schedule?
Q: Which of these races do you think should be removed from the schedule?
Q: Are you willing to travel for any races other than the Ditch Run (ie,
Spin Cup, Windjammers, Long Beach Race Week, Huntington Lake)?
Q: Anything else you'd like to see on this list?
If you have any other comments, please send them along, but please, oh
please, at least answer the first two questions.
Thanks
Brendan Busch

Subject: 2007 Express 27 racing schedule - request for input
This first mail is just to solicit additional suggestions for the 2007
schedule. Below is a table showing the E27 schedule for the past four years
as well as attendance (only counted starters of at least one race in each
series). Races in bold showed solid attendance of 10 boats or more each
year, and I would expect to have them on the schedule in 2007. Races in
italics show good momentum and are likely candidates for the 2007 schedule.
I will provide dates for all events in the next email.
If there are other races you think the fleet should consider for 2007,
please let me know and I'll add them to the list. Then I'll send an email
out for everyone to respond to which races they'd really like to do.
Thanks,
