PEWAUKEE POST # 1

 

Eligible sailors (TTQ), we have begun to make our travel and practice plans for the 2013 USODA Team Trials hosted by the legendary Pewaukee Yacht Club. If Sandusky, Ohio blew away all your Midwestern expectations, prepare to be amazed at the bitter conditions that Lake Pewaukee Lake will serve up this May!

The event's website is http://www.teamtrials2013.com/ If you haven't already checked it out, there are plenty of links on the website that can help you make lodging, boat charter, and regatta arrangements.

Our plans are to depart from LYC on Saturday, April 27 with plans to arrive before midnight on the 28th. With that we will have on site practice for the event Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before the first day of racing on Thursday, May 2nd.

Here's the current list of sailors planning to attend. If you aren't on the list and plan to attend, visit the "Upcoming Regattas" portion of this site to let us know.

Chase Sabadash
Stephen Streater

We need to finalize our plans SOON so please let us know ASAP!

As you know the Team Trials is the Qualifying regatta for the Summer International Teams. Here's some info pulled from the NOR about that

17. SUMMER INTERNATIONAL TEAM QUALIFICATION
17.1. Qualification for summer international teams will be in accordance with the selection
criteria established by USODA and posted on the USODA web page at www.usoda.org. In the
event of a tie that cannot be resolved by use of the rules governing this event, the matter shall
be decided by a game of chance supervised by the Principal Race Officer (PRO).
17.2. In the event no races are completed at the 2013 USODA Spring Team Trials or if the
Executive Committee of the USODA Board of Directors concludes prior to the start of the first
race that a substantial percentage of the registered sailors cannot attend or otherwise participate
in the regatta for reasons beyond the control of the Pewaukee Yacht Club, the USODA or the
registered sailors, then the order of selection (with 1st place to receive the 1st invitation, etc.) of
those sailors from the 2012 USODA National Championship who;
a) are current members of USODA,
b) registered for the 2013 USODA Spring Team Trials, and
c) whose age permits them to sail in USODA events in the same year as the events for which
teams that are being selected are to occur, shall serve as the basis for selecting the individuals to
be invited to join the USODA teams otherwise to be selected on the basis of the results of the
2013 USODA Spring Team Trials.
