Hi All!
This is really sad and a disgrace for the whole LIS J/30 district!
As of today we have 3 entries for the District Championship next weekend - one of these boats will withdraw unless we get to a total of 6 boats.
I don't want to make a "parody" of OD racing and the District Championship by running a match racing regatta with Blue Meanie (we do that too often in PHRF events). Both Steve and I refuse to put our names on the trophy unless we have an event worth the name. This years plaque would read "Cancelled no interest".
We have set a deadline of 3 pm on Monday 6/25 to cancel the regatta - that's when Steve and I have to start calling off the arrangements and start apologizing to the club and all volunteers we have called on.
We should also keep in mind that by not participating in the Districts (forcing a cancellation) the new "District series" fell flat on its face.
If you change your minds and want to race next weekend - let me know before Monday bengt@fast.net or 908-222-3797./Bengt Johansson
