<DIV>I'm kind of on board with you Michael, but you'll have to make Bonito go
even faster than she is already to get in Big Daddy, unless I can get us an
exemption (which may be possible); here's the description from the NOR:</DIV>
<DIV>
<P>The Big Daddy Regatta is a PHRF, One Design and IRC regatta, open to
mono-hulled keel boats with a Northern California PHRF rating of 174 and below.
</P></DIV>
<DIV>I kind of liked Knox/Bonita when I did it, we could put that in the first
series in place of Big Daddy, a sort of "put your nose out the Gate" intro for
those who don't want to go all the way tot he Farallones in the shorthanded
part.</DIV>

Spinnaker Series<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I would really like to get an active spinnaker series going again
in our fleet next year. It is fun to go out and pop the chute up in 25
knots and come surfing in underneath the gate. I miss it and I know
other people in our class do too. After the excellent turnout at
nationals, I'd like to see if we can make something more substantial happen
next year. <BR><BR>It seems that this could be an opportunity to fill out some
of the year when the YRA series isn't happening and things are a little
slower. Below is a proposed schedule:<BR><BR><BR>Early March: Big Daddy
(3 races) - Southampton. We would not be allowed to do the pursuit race
because we are too slow and the day is still too short at that time of the
year. However, the RYC people said the saw no reason why we couldn't
have a one design start for the buoy racing on Saturday. <BR><BR>Late March:
Double Handed Lightship (1 race) - Out the gate.<BR><BR>Early May:
Vallejo (1 race) - Long, recquires knowledge of currents and wind to
win. Traditionally highly attended.<BR><BR>Late October: Great Pumpkin
(3 races) - This race has traditionally been strongly attended. Held at
Southampton shoals, the wind is often light.<BR><BR><BR>Potential Additional
Races:<BR><BR>Three Bridge Fiasco - Mid January, often don't finish because of
wind.<BR>Plastic Classic<BR>2nd 1/2 Opener - Late July. Nice to
have a few races when it is really blowing. <BR>Vallejo 1/2 - Fall, good
attendance in 2006.<BR><BR>I feel that there is room for an additional race or
two in the above schedule. One option is to pay regatta pro to hold
somethng for us, or to run an event off the bay view boat club course in the
south bay. <BR><BR>If you are interested, please reply to the list with your
thoughts.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Pete<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
