This is our 5<sup>th</sup> year for this great regatta, so congratulate yourselves for making this series a success! </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We are now beginning our top-secret, exhaustive, planning process. As many of you will recall from past events our philosophy for this event is relatively simple. We provide:</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style=""><span style="">1.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span> Excellent racing. </p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style=""><span style="">2.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New
Roman";"> </span></span>Unique and high-quality off-the-water extra-curricular activities</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">The racing will Including multiple photographers working hard to capture your boat at it best (well OK, yeah, they have also occasionally captured some of that kite shrimping and crashing… but, you looked good doing it anyway). We work hard to give you square-lines, true courses, and generally fair racing.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Some of the off-the-water activities have become legend. I have the photographic evidence to prove it*. These antics have been fueled by good food, good wine, good music, massage therapy, and in some cases emotional therapy and lots of other good stuff.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We believe that if we deliver the above, you and our sponsors will be generous
in supporting our cause of finding a cure for Sarcoma, a deadly form of cancer that does not receive adequate attention.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">So, please spread the word that the 2012 Sarcoma Cup is on. I think this year’s event could out-do past events. Why? In this pre-A-Cup year, Nat has been especially secretive in her planning. She has even denied me access to these sessions… I guess she knows I can’t keep a secret <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">L</span>. All I can tell you is that she seems to be hanging out with a lot of high-performance catamaran sailors lately…. Very suspicious behavior.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">If you are not your fleet captain/representative, please forward this email to them. Feel free to forward to your yacht club and anyone else who has an interest in participating in a quality
regatta. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">If you have questions about this year’s event, please send emails to Nathalie Criou, cc’d here for your convenience. I may be out of email contact for extended periods this year and Nathalie will be your most responsive contact…. Perhaps you then let me know what she’s up to. Also, please reply to Nat with regard to your fleet’s plans to participate and what you anticipate for likely numbers of participants…..</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,</p><p class="MsoNormal">Mark Lowry, Express 27 "Xena", Sarcoma Cup Regatta Co-Chair (racing, emeritus) on behalf of….</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Nathalie Criu, Sarcoma Cup Regatta Chair</p><p class="MsoNormal">Allison Lehman, Sarcoma Cup Regatt Co-chair</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">*It is true that I
received repeated requests for the negatives in some cases, but I’m sorry they will have remain in the Sarcoma Cup archives… they may come in handy some day</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></div></div>
