There was a discussion about the Thunder Mug Regatta. Bill Fields
expressed his concerns that it was unorganized
due to confusion with the start and the fact that approximately 25% of the boats
were disqualified for missing a gate. He
suggested that handouts should be given to all boat captains with the course lay
out and start instructions for
future Regattas.
Also, he thought that the event cost too much. Gary
Smith stated that he was not given a budget to work with and that he shopped at
Sam’s Club for the food. Jim Cunningham stated that the start
instructions were given at the skipper’s meeting and that everyone understood
the start and had no questions. The course layout was clearly outlined on

discussed having a general open house but did not identify a date. HSA
is purchasing a 1998 Capri the week of April 6, 2009. This will give us a
total of three Capri boats. Bill
Fields suggested that we organize Capri racing. His idea was to have three
races with each crew racing each of the Capri boats. The combined time
would determine the winner of the race.

polices? Should affiliates be questioned as to whether they have policies?
Before we submit application we should make sure written policies are in
place, especially regarding the operation of the youth program. Gary: there is nothing written. Would this increase
premium? Should HYS be obligated to give financial info to
HSA? Yes, it is public record. Need to address cost sharing amongst affiliates.
