that would be funny to have a yellow jersey or something to mark the leader.
Maybe the leader has run a flag off the top of their mast or put a bowling ball
in their cockpit!
yes Jay needs boat...what about Pablo's boat.?..I would  miss Pablo but if he is
serious about retiring, that is a nice boat.
I would be interested in a mid winter sail, but my schedule is really a bit

1988 Laser for sale – Boat is equipped with the newer Pro-Rig (Racing) package,
new control line package and many other upgrades.
Boat comes with full-rig spars and sail.  Radial spars and sails are also
available as well as hull cover, dolly and a two-boat trailer.  You could be
racing a nice boat for $1750.  Contact John Long at (805) 705-1435 or
jlonginsb@... to arrange to see.

on behalf of all of us that are trying to be productive during biz
hours...thanks from the rest of us for the entertaining repartee! the
distraction is entertaining. we'd add to the banter, but are trying to keep
focused here- Kath

ok folks
geoff is probably sick of my hair brain ideas
anyway  i would love to do a video, but i love the racing too much
it is my mid week break from filmmaking
so here is an idea...
What about a "press day" next year ----not on a Tuesday
we get everybody that can come set up a few marks
invite all the press and photographers we know and put on a show
give the photographers food and beverage on a cozy boat and let get right in
there
we could get 20 boats heading full speed to the press boat and get some real
dramatic shots
We could even do mock starts
we could have our 20 or so pretend that press boat was a mark so they could see
serious moves around the boat (mark).
get them much closer than they could in a race
set up the BBQ, give them beer and let then do interviews over some freshly
cooled flesh.
just hair brain idea
but i would love to get in the water too with a waterproof camera and have boats
zip by a few inches from the camera.
I really think these boats look brilliant on camera
I love the white sails---they looks so clean and beautiful
speaking of beautiful
check out his guys laser photos---- amazing!!!
http://capizzano.com/laserworlds2009/LaserSenior.htm
maybe i should just quit whining and miss a few week of racing and do a video.
anyway, every time we got on the water together it get sweeter

peace

Thanks again to Ken and Chris for being such generous hosts for the end of
season party.

We'll start planning for a ski day with plenty of Apres Ski as well as the March
fundraiser for the Junior Program.  Start telling your friends that they have to
attend the fundraiser and put aside an item for the silent auction.  Does

yes thanks to Ken and Chris for the party!!!
great party house
and thanks to Phillipe for donating the sail to someone that sucked less at the
end of the season than he he did at the beginning of the season.
all the food bringers
you can tell a lot about a group by the quality of their potluck
peace

Thank you again to Ken and Chris for hosting a great party!

As mentioned at the party, I nominated Geoff for a US Sailing One Design -
Leadership award. Go ahead and pile on here:

Geoff and All,
It was a great party.
Thanks to all.
Good food, good stories, good folks to sail with.
And thanks for the sail, that was wonderful.
I posted a photo of Speedy Gonzales.
I think he is doing a victory lap around the parking lot while the rest of us
turkeys are still rigging our boats.
Dave Odell is the man! Congrats on all your new trophies.
Peace,
Steve
