First District Meeting Minutes

8:00 p.m., Saturday July 9, 2005

Milford Yacht Club

· The remaining regattas on the 2005 Schedule were discussed by respective fleet members:

Marblehead NOOD

Ned Hay

Master’s at Cedar Point YC

Bedford Pitcher

Nutmeg

Larchmont Columbus Day

· The 2006 Schedule was discussed.

· The 2006 District’s at Boston Harbor will probably take place in August, but the BH fleet members will check with the Cottage Park Y.C. before firming up the date.

· The 2006 Master’s will take place in Milford, with the date dependent on the timing of the District’s at Boston.

· The designated regatta for the 2006 Tri-District Series will be the Ned Hay.

· Steve Braverman discussed the Multi-Class regatta concept. Should limit the number of such regattas to two or so each year.

· Nelson Stephenson discussed the holding of a Centennial event in 2011. The ample parking lot at Cedar Point makes that yacht club the obvious choice for venue.

· John Bainton discussed the question of increasing regatta fees. While the idea of a bare bones regatta sounds appealing, when asked very few meeting attendees voted for this concept.

· The District presently has about $2600 for trophy maintenance.

In reviewing the District Trophy maintenance issue most trophies needed to have their winner plaques updated.
