<br><br>Hi Sally,<br>
As most of you know by now, at the close of early registration for the
Fall Dinghy Regatta on October 22, the Vanguard 15 fleet had a total of
four entries, a number which hasn't changed through to today. The
Notice of Race specified that a fleet would need six entries to gain a
start, a rule that is especially important for a Vanguard 15 fleet
since it involves setting up a separate race area. So, unfortunately,
the decision is to drop the Vanguard 15 fleet from the Fall Dinghy
Regatta.<br>
The StFYC Rce Office will provide a full refund to those that have
pre-registered. Simply contact Melanie Roberts in the Race Office, by
email at <a href="mailto:racejradm@stfyc.com" target="_blank">racejradm@stfyc.com</a> or by phone at 415 655 7756.<br>
It is regrettable that this decision has to be made, especially since
the Vanguard 15 Fleet has had such a long history or racing at the St
Francis Yacht Club. And while the fleet won't be racing in the Fall
Dinghy Regatta this year, it is hoped that the fleet can rally to come
back strong for both the Spring and Fall Dinghy Regattas in 2009.<br>
