Spring Planning meeting minutes

0 comments

March 28, 2009
Our spring planning meeting was held at the Hackett's. It was also a goodbye party for Jane and Al as they leave this week for Florida. In attendance were the Hacketts, Johnsons, Deckers, Reynolds, Helmars including Alex, Fleurys, Jim L, Dave F, Scott M and Hugh F.

We discussed the fleet equipment condition and location. Jim and Dee will take a good look at the flags to see what can be repaired and what needs to be replaced. Equipment currently at Johnson’s will be picked up, inventoried and moved to Jim’s until it is needed at Hampton Beach.

The next discussion was regarding the Sebago events and if they should be fun sails or races. There was much discussion about how many race events we should host. It was decided the first two Sebagos would be races with Helmars and Flureys being race committee and the third a fun sail. 

The race schedule was next up again with much discussion about possible conflicting dates. We have some members that travel to other fleets events and some that only do our events. How much effort goes into hosting events was brought up and if we should continue both Pine Point and Hampton events. The lack of camping was discussed regarding these events.

We will continue providing lunch on the boats, making approximately 40 sandwiches.
Advertising by sponsors was discussed, Hampton does not allow for advertising but would allow sponsor to put our logo on t-shirts along with theirs.

The fleet is also checking with Pam and Darrel to see if the HomePort regatta will be held this year and if so what dates are available.  This event NOR will be available for the fleet news letter due out at the end of April.
