In an effort to coordinate the US schedule with the Canadian schedule I am submitting the US side of the schedule based on the major events only. The Mid-winters will be hosted at Davis Island during the weekend of March 14-16. The Nationals and North Americans will be hostyed by the Dillon Yacht Club near Denver, Colorado during the week of June 16-20. Alan and Peter has the two events scheduled during the week to allow the weekends on either end of the week for traveling. That way there will be only a week of work you have to negotiate for to attend these two events. The Eastern Regionals will be hosted by Sayville yacht Club and the exact dates have yet to be determined but we have it narrowed down to somewhere around the third week in July. What we hope is the western Candian fleets will support the Nationals and North Americans and the Eastern Canadians will support the Eastern Regionals. What I need from our Canadian fleets is their regattas that they want us to support and I will send that schedule out to our membership as soon as I get them. I am not asking for any support for our local regattas this summer as I want to concentrate on trying to schedule regattas that will allow for the US and Candian fleets to travel across the border and support each other this summer. I've already talked to Joe Jospe about this and he agrees that this type of schedule will only benefit both associations in the long run due to the locations of our largest fleets. It might help the Candians to know that there is small group of US Fireballers located near Portland, Oregon looking for more Fireballs to race against. Also the largest US fleet is located near Pymatuning but is made up of mostly high school and college age students and can be somewhat unreliable when expecting them to travel but there is also four older fireballers that do travel on a regular basis for major US events. It these four that I hope will do the bulk of the traveling across the border. You have to go to either Dever of Tampa to get to the rest of our association. Anyway as soon as I can get your schedules I will begin to advertise them to our association. As soon as I have an exact date for the Eastern regionals I will notify the Canadians as well as the US fleets.
