The \u2018regatta light\u2019 series is loosely structured after the Texas and Florida models. Our hope is that we can encourage the region\u2019s sailors to travel to a series of one day events to increase regional participation and earn points towards national ranking. This approach avoids the costs associated with a two day regatta requiring hotel and meal expenditures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rob and I felt it was important to get this notice out now, prior to the new year as many clubs have winter meetings to set their upcoming schedules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have reviewed the outline I would ask you to do several things:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provide feedback to Rob and I on the plan. Use \u2018reply all\u2019 so that we can have a regional discussion&nbsp; about going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distribute the plan to your club membership for their review and feedback<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At you winter club\/organization meeting, discuss dates the club is willing to host an event<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DF95 is a great boat and there is a lot of club racing here in New England. I\u2019ve sailed with three clubs outside of my normal sailing venue here in Newport and I have to say that there are a lot of good sailors out there.
