NOOD is fairly pricey, and in picking one, I would vote for the one with fewer fleets (so we're not waiting forever for our starts and then getting mowed down by J120s and 105s on the racecourse all weekend).</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Mike Kennedy</span></div><div><span>Pariah #146</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr">

<div id="yiv1252322001"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Tuna skippers,<br><br></div><div>With the Great Pumpkin regatta our season comes to an end, so a big THANKS to everyone who came out to race and helped to organize events.<br><br></div><div>We had 10 boats signed up for the white sails series, 20 for nationals, and 4 boats for spinnakers, so our fleet stays pretty healthy and we had some great racing this year. Garth Copenhaver on "Oreo" was the big winner this year, he is now national champion, fleet champion for both spinnaker and white sails, and YRA Champion of the Champions! Congratulations Garth and crew for this amazing feat!<br>
<br></div>We don't have many changes in mind for or schedule next year. It looks like the YRA will move the Summer Sailstice regatta back to the white sails series, so that means we would have 5 race days again. We'll look for one or two other races to add to our white sails schedule and talk about that on our fleet meeting in March. we'll stick with the YRA PC series for our spinnaker series and propose to keep the Great Pumpkin in the spinnaker series as a buoy race. The match racing event and practice starts were very well attended and good fun, so we'll ask some volunteers to organize those again. Please let us know what you liked or disliked this year and we'll keep improving. Moreover, the YRA welcomes every comment, so if you have any, good or bad, we'd like to hear from you and we'll pass 'em on. Also, we've received invitations for some bigger regattas, such as the NOOD or the Resin Regatta. These are 2 day events so please let us know if you
would be up for something like that as part of our white sails series.<br>
<br></div><div>We also got a new batch of T-shirts, and I'm sorry to say that I lost the list of who ordered what and unfortunately also who already payed Thijs for them. So I hope you remember and can send me an email with what you ordered and/or a check. The new batch is $25 each, as it was a smaller number. I'm sorry it took so long.<br>
