<TITLE>Gathering of the Tunas! Well, at least their owners and sails in need of measuring.</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Tuna owners and interested crew, Sally and Kame Richards have again very generously agreed to host a gathering of our school; please join me at Pineapple Sails in Alameda on Friday, March 20 at 17:30.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I propose that we discuss our 2009 schedule, including what races we should do as a Fleet, what sails we should use during those races and how we should count them to determine a Champion or Champions during this gathering. This will also be a good opportunity for any sails you own, requiring measuring, to be and get stamped.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I also intend to poll those in attendance concerning measurement certificates. I suspect that, as boats have changed owners over time, some of you may not be in possession of them. I aim to rectify this before our season begins in earnest, during May.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Pizza from Bowzer's in Alameda will be provided, courtesy of the Fleet. Please bring beverages of you choosing. Please also be prepared to pay your $25 Fleet One dues for 2009.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hope to see you there; please do let me know your coming so that I can get an idea of whether the majority of owners are going to make it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you,</FONT>
