<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear Tuna Skippers.<br><br></div>So far it looks like on April 5th we have: <br></div><br>Pip<br></div>Meliki<br></div>Pariah<br></div></div>ByteSize<br>Mistral (maybe...)<br>
<br></div>No one mentioned April 19 would be better, so we'll go for April 5. It would be nice to have a few more boats out. Please let me know if you're planning to come or if we can help you with anything to make it easier for you to come. Also, let me know if you'd like to participate but can't bring your boat. Byte Size has a crew spot available and it looks like Meli'ki has at least one, too. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.<br>
<br></div>Also, sign up before April 1st for the Wheeler regatta to get a $10 discount.<br><br></div>Cheers,<br>Anna<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 4:37 PM, Santana22 San Francisco <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:santana22sfbay@gmail.com" target="_blank">santana22sfbay@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This event is for novice skippers who want to practice some starts, as well as for experienced folks who want to get their crews ready for the season. It's also one of the most fun events of the year! <br>
<br>On Sat April 5th we'll put out a starting line with a short course in beautiful Clipper Cove to practice as many starts as we can fit in. Start at 11, about 6 starts and very short races (~ 5 min each), and then we'll break for a pot luck lunch during which Frank will give some feedback. Then, it's back on the water for a few more starts and we'll be done before 3 pm.<br>
<br></div><div>You can come over and bring your Tuna, or just come over and we'll find you a boat to crew on. Please bring crew and/or interested other skippers or friends. <br><br></div><div>Please let us know 1) if you're coming, 2) if you're bringing your boat, 3) how many crew you're bringing. <br>
<br>It would be great to have someone volunteer to take some pictures and write a short piece for NorCal sailing to give the fleet some advertisement. Also, if this date doesn't work for a whole lot of people we can postpone to April 19 after the Wheeler regatta, so let me know if that's the case.<br>
<br></div><div>In the past years we've had 8-10 boats out for this event and it's a great way to get toknow the fleet and do some informal races. As always, please let me know if you have any questions!<br><br>Cheers,<br>
