you note for all SP 3 regatta volunteers on Oct 25 '08
Hello
everyone:
First of all:
Lots of thanks to the LESC Board of Directors for letting us host the
Interscholastic High School South Point 3 regatta at our sailing club! We did
our utmost, not to interfere with and stay out of the way of the club’s
normal racing activities. The juniors were exited to see all the racing
action of the MC, Flying Scott and Wayfarer fleet out on the
Scott Norman of course was very instrumental in helping us,
with taking care off and explaining the Saisa
team’s rotation system and teaching us and taking responsibility
for computer scoring. Coach Scott Norman has as a learned how to do those things, he is an excellent professional sailing coach and
was for many years the Collegiate sailing coach at Eckhart college. He is now
coaching the Club 420 and Laser teams for Team 4 Clearwater and Davis Island
Sailing Club. Coach Scott Norman told me to give all of you a huge
compliment about how well our team under leadership of Leah Ladley ran the Club
420 High School Team regatta!!! Scott especially gave
Craig a very well deserved compliment for a job very well done!!! Thank you Martin jr
for an excellent PRO job! Lots of thanks to Craig for doing
an excellent job with coaching the club 420 class and for keeping the club 420
dinghies in excellent shape; and for rotating the teams on the beach and for
bringing those delicious sandwiches out to us on the lake. Thank you Brandon and Sharon Pennington for being the spectator
boat! You made many parents very happy to get a close up view of the
races! And of course thanks to the Panzo family who gave us the use of their very nice and
roomy pontoon boat to be used as race committee boat! I especially like to add
the fantastic job Sam Chapin did with judging all the 16 races and by doing so
prevented any “undesired excitement” on the race
course: Great job Sam! And of course lots of thanks to Jennifer for
doing a great ‘driving’ job, (look at your picture on the website).
Many thanks to all volunteers: Laura for keeping all of us
‘well fed’ with delicious sandwiches! Richard Kinnie and Robert Krentel for
their excellent work on the PRO boat, Othon and Chris
for changing the race course a hundred times; Michelle Kechriotis,
Marjorie and Melanie and Caroline Ladley for helping with registration and last
but not least: Thank you Melanie and Caroline for keeping the clubhouse looking
neat!!!
And of course: Lots of Thanks to Leah for
great regatta leadership: You are now our “Admiral” of the Club 420
fleet! Leah: all of us love to work for you!
Again, many thanks to all and very best regards, Martin
