Back in April, I asked Eric Witte to inquire of Roton Point regarding any interest in hosting our 2012 nationals. Eric informed me, at Racine, that there is a positive interest so it becomes incumbent upon us to make a decision and timely response.

Roton Point has a rich history in the catamaran world, having hosted the "Little America's Cup" among other events. Their annual fall regatta has an enviable reputation and last year, I believe, was the 50th anniversary of that regatta.

Their location, in New England and close proximity to New York City, offers additional incentive for a vacation in conjunction with a regatta. Two birds with one stone if you will.

At any rate, the class officers and I are asking for your input regarding this venue. I would hope a decision can be made soon.

Your comments and opinions are solicited here. Hopefully, some of you with direct knowledge will offer us your experiences.

Personally, I vote that we accept.
