We may not have access to Founders Park this year and consequently may have to move to the Islander, just down the street and on the Ocean Side.

We have traditionally sailed Fri-Sun, however the A-Cats Regatta does not end until Friday, and there would be an overlap that would not work.

QUESTION: Since Monday is a Holiday (ML King) would we lose boats by having it Sat thru Monday?

You can answer here or email me: rick@catsailor.com

I would still be 'in' for racing on Monday Rick. Would we be doing any practice on Friday too, or just go out and watch the A cats?

I'll have to talk to Andi Lutz to see if he would have to get back to work on Tuesday, like he usualy does, or if he could get Tuesday off. This far out I wouldn't think it would be a problem, thanks for the early warning!

Too bad the A-Cats won't bend any. THey do a Monday-Tues, Wed lay day, and have another event Thurs and Fri.
We asked if they could omit the layday, but they have been doing it this way for quite a while and did not want to change.

Well...on the bright side, maybe some of the A cats will hang around for the weekend and sail in the Tradewinds regatta.

I'm beginning to appreciate having Monday's off from work...it probably wouldn't affect me unless I intended to also do the A-cat week. Getting more than one consecutive week of vacation is a little tricky.

The guy that started our company once informed one of my employees (in a jesting manner that still left a little room for caution), that "if you can afford to take two weeks of vacation, that pretty much tells me that we can do without you".

You might want to make sure that there is enough room for all the T.winds boats to set-up while the A's are there.Islander is going to want plenty of heads-up on what's going to need to go where.
Rick don't you think it's pretty presumptuous to expect the A's to change their schedule because your venue didn't work out?
I hope to do both this year as well.

Or maybe we can "Politic" the Founders Park admin guys into letting us stay there?

When money talks, People listen.

I know a couple guys who could go and 'talk' to them.
