... We welcome any comments you might have about the Skippers Meeting, our Sailing Instructions, the conduct of the races by the RC, the scoring system, or anything race-related, and these should be directed to myself. We are still learning, and this is only my 4th on-the-water regatta as RO. The flags are new to a lot of our sailors, as for many years we were forced to operate from the land-based hut (now "Josie's Hut" in honour of Josephine Scarlett, who you may remember). And I firmly believe that any RO should be prepared to listen to feedback from racers, especially those like yourself with many sea miles under your keel.

If you have any comments about the venue, food, etc., you can pass them to me as well, and we will use them in planning for next year's events.  I'm thinking you might want a keg of Bailey's placed strategically near the door of the Doug Mackenzie Hall, handy as you come off the water with cold hands and feet!!

Thanks again for your participation. It was a great pleasure starting, watching and scoring such a dedicated group of one-design boaters.  Good on You!!!
