• Clothing sale at that time with Karen Rosembaun- to be set up.
• March 23rd with Dave Perry, John Craig and a select panel including the top ofthe fleet and sail makers.

• If one day out of the 2, one cannot attend, one can send a major player such as tactician or helmsman to replace.
• Class will work to sanction alternate seminars (e.g., North U) to attend if conflict prevents member from attending Class seminar.
• Member is to make application to ExComm for permission to attend alternate.

• Will get special exemption for sail tags used for Key West and similar regattas.

7. North Americans

• ExComm was unanimously in favor of having N/As here summer 2003.
• Understanding is that National Class will sanction event with 89 spinnaker and the then current National weight limit, but with Fleet One owner driver.

8. Starting Line Congestion

• Don Trask suggested there is concern re starting line congestion.
• Don has come up with a fleet splitting proposal to get a "little more control on the number of J105s at the starting line."
• This concept would split the fleet evenly and not on the basis of standings.
• Don was asked to put this idea in writing for comment.

Adjournment:

There being no further business to be discussed, a motion was made, seconded and passed to adjourn the meeting at 2030 hours.
