With the midwinter series just around the corner, we need to decide on a series to attend as a fleet. Remember the days when we could get 30 boats on the starting line????? Let's show the other fleets just how strong we are and unite for a great midwinter series!!!
The only question is which series we want to attend as a class.
OPTION #1 - Berkeley midwinter's (Dates - Nov. 10, Dec. 8, Jan. 12, Feb. 9) This series has always been a lot of fun and has typically resulted in the largest number of boats on the line. Last year we went back to this series and though we had 22 boats signed up for the series, we only saw between 11 and 14 boats on any race day. There is only one race a day and the courses can be reachy at times since fixed marks are used.
OPTION #2 - RegattaPro midwinter series. (Dates - November 3, Dec. 1, Jan 5, Feb 2) This series is not run by a yacht club, but rather Jeff Zarwell and his company at REgattaPro. His e-mail below best describes this event. We have attended this series in the past but the number of participants has never been as good as the old days at BYC. The advantages to this series is there are two races on each day and he doesn't use fixed marks.
Bottom line, we need to get together and decide on a midwinter series. This year we are going to go with majority vote to make the decision. So, just reply to this e-mail and tell me which option you want to do. Whichever series gets the most number of votes (only one vote per boat though) will be the series we sail this winter.
DEADLINE FOR VOTES IS FRIDAY 9/28/07. SO DON'T FORGET TO VOTE SO YOUR VOICE IS HEARD.
Cheers,
Jason Crowson

Regarding the RegattaPRO midwinter series, it's the first Saturday
each month November through February. All races are with temporary
marks to keep the course square and there are two races per day
weather permitting. Venue is the Berkeley Circle area, but again no
fixed marks. It will be more expensive, but I don't have a yacht
club providing equipment. That also means I don't have a commodore
telling me what fleets should be included. Invited fleets are:
Melges 24, Etchells, Express 27, J24, Moore 24 and Alerion. That's
it, no slow boats, no PHRF and no reach, reach, reach courses.
This is the second year for the keelboat winter series and the third
year for the one design winter series which is the second Saturday
each month with Melges 32 through J105.
I hope you'll decide to join us. Other fleets have decided that
we're worth the extra money.
NOR will go out this next week.
