<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>For your information: When I joined the fleet in 1974 we had regular meetings, several a year, to decide difficult questions. Sometimes the meetings almost came to blows. However, I do not intend to race in the Rites of spring unless I can have two crew members. Apparently the limit is one plus the skipper.</DIV>
