Sailors and Parents,
This weekends regatta is a two day event. We will be meeting at the Sehome Haggen's parking lot at 7:00AM Saturday morning and driving down to Seattle. Racing will go till around 5 and then we will get food and head over to Liam Hood's grandpas house for the night. Sunday we will race till 3, pack up and head home. Probably back by 7pm.
Entry fee this weekend is $15. Entry fee includes lunches and snacks both days. Parents can purchase meal tickets for $5. If we rent a van it will be an extra $5.
The entire team would like to go this weekend. Which is awesome, but also presents some challenges. First driving, we will need many cars to get everyone down this weekend. Please let me know if you can drive. If we don't get enough vehicles driving I will rent a van and charge and extra $5 per sailor.
Second, housing will be cramped. We will likely be splitting up the girls and boys this weekend so there is enough room for everyone. Steve Hood is checking with his Dad about having the girls stay upstairs and boys downstairs. If that doesn't work I have another option.
Third, we have been allocated 1 sehome gold team (4 sailors), 1/2 sehome gold team (2 sailors), 1 bellingham gold team (4 sailors), and 1 squalicum silver team (4) sailors. Which would mean we would be rotating 10 sailors. This will result in everyone getting to sail only a few races this weekend. The goal of this weekend is to create a more competitive gold fleet, so rotating beginners into our gold fleet team doesn't make much sense. I am still working on getting another boat, but if I can't I will ask some of you to stay home this weekend. As you know I hate to turn anyone away, but we keep growing as a team and it just makes sense this weekend. Sailors that get cut from this weekends regatta will have priority next weekend. I will let everyone know the cuts after Thursdays practice. Please be understanding if you get cut from this weekend.
Right now, we have Steve Hood, Felicity Dye, and myself driving. Parents please let me know if you could drive also. And if you could tow boats.
Thanks,
