For those tripping over this site long after the event, I’d like to announce the imminent launch of the 2011 J24 North American Championships site. The Committe held its first meeting on Thursday, October 28. The NAs will coincidentally take place on the same dates (i.e., August 19-21) as the Canadian Nationals, maximizing the chances for a second year of wonderful weather on the harbour.
A lot will be the same. Dale Robertson is Regatta Chair again and many of the same people are involved in regatta organization. Expect the Web site to be pretty similar too. The site should be up in a couple of months and we will be linking from Atlantic J News as well as several other sites.
For many of us, the Nationals were the first regatta we were involved in organizing, although there were also many experienced hands. This time, nearly all of us will have the benefit of having gone once around the track and look forward to removing a few rough edges. Expect great racing, great social events, and great prizes once again though.
