Bob, et. al.
Thanks for your interest in this topic.
The dry sailing question has come up a number of times. The real prospect of additional boats on the line has changed my position on the topic.
I called the meeting at this time so that a decision for next season could be made before contracts for slips need to be renewed.
I don't believe that the CB J30 fleet has held a special meeting by teleconference in the past, however we did give boats the option to attend the last fleet business meeting by teleconference. I do believe that holding a meeting in this fashion will allow the greatest number of members to participate and make their views on this specific question known without taking a large amount of time. The J-30 Board of Governors has been successfully meeting in this fashion for a number of years.
If there is interest in a face to face meeting, we will set that up. For example, I can host five or six people at my office in Alexandria.
Please note that the straw poll attached to this tread is just that a straw poll. While it may be interesting, it has no binding effect on the the outcome of the vote that fleet members will make at the special meeting.
Tom Watson
CB J30 Fleet Captain
