This is the word so far on the Mille Lacs Crossing 2007. I will post
the notice of race as soon as I get it. You can check fleet8.com as well.
Racing will be Sept 28-30. There will course/slalom racing on Friday
and Sunday. The Crossing will be held on Saturday unless weather
looks better for Sunday. Being the end of September you can expect
any kind of weather, so come prepared for hot or cold.
Mowind points will be scored for all of the races unless there is a
good reason not to. This is your warning that it could be the highest
scoring race of the season.
Last year the course racing was not counted, only the crossing. Those
that did race on Sunday last year added 100-200 points to their
crossing score with only four additional races.
Last year 41 people signed up for the crossing and 9 stayed on Sunday
for the course racing.

Do you know if there will be racing for sure on Friday? If there is only going to be racing IF the wind is deemed good (say 10 or more), I don't know that I...
IMHO: If the 'Notice of Race' states that racing is scheduled all three days, and if a race committee is on the water actually scoring the races, then the...
I have to say that if "The Mille Lacs Crossing" is a part of the MOWIND points series, the points should be awarded to all participants including course...
I agree with all of your points, let's just try to get something standardized before the event so we know what to expect. The thing that I am still a bit leary...
Woody, I agree with you in principle, but in practice the Mille Lacs Crossing has a lot more people that sail the distance only than at other events. In fact,...
I agree with Arden (big surprise). Mille Lacs traditionally had been a crossing (long distance) event with "optional" course racing. Before the organized...
Using your example Adam, we would have to eliminate DNS's from every race including course racing, Unless I read that wrong? How would we know if someone that...
This was my point at the beginning of this conversation. First, the Notice of Race has to identify what expectations are. Not fair to anyone to arrive on...
Hi Everyone, I've been watching this discussion and I thinks it's great. We need to continue this with future issues. Would be nice if more people would...
Please read the entire message. I think the thought process moves into a pretty reasonable conclusion at the end of the message. Good point Woody. I didn't...
Great points Kevin. Thanks for your input and good luck at the I-20's. Also, I'll probably see you on the water in about an hour...20-30 (41mph gusts last I...
I think this is a great discussion. I think it is great that we try to make the Mille Lac Crossing a larger event for points and also try to include more...
I agree that Mike needs to be a major part of this discussion and Fleet 8 and MOWIND need to join forces or at least work together to benefit each other and...
Thanks for all of the comments and discussion. I would like to add a little as well. As I am relatively new to MOWIND I do not know much of what has happened...
I had a long conversation with Mike last night regarding this. First, Mike and his team have done a GREAT job for a LONG time making the Mille Lace and other...
It looks like Mike Fox has another great event in store for us. I have uploaded the notice of race to the files section. In it are explained the format of the...
