HOST A BIG REGATTA:
Meg Fenderson presented ideas about
“How to host a BIG Regatta”, chairpersons were assigned in the following areas: race/budget/volunteers/logistics/crane & launch /marketing sponsorship/fund raising ($ & give aways)/food & beverage
Most of the regatta planning was completed very early on- before May.
To keep the cost down (under $10,000), pot luck dinner the first night when launching at HBS and than larger gathering night of the first day of racing
Pros and Cons of combining J24 and E22 regattas
Pros (+)
+be impressive to see all the boats out racing at once
+costs sharing and savings
+fewer things that need to be done by individual fleets
Cons (-)

-on the water logistics: 2 starting areas/committee boats vs issues
boats with different sailing characteristics, fleets interfering with
each other and fewer races overall
