2015 Morgan Black Regatta

Postby Rick West » Sat Nov 30, 2013 12:00 pm

Greetings for the Holiday Season and the coming New Year. It is time to begin planning for the 2015 Morgan Black.

Inquiries have been sent out to Canada the UK and Europe for the fourth EC12 international event and gathering. In order; New Zealand, America and Australia have hosted for the first three. When started it was hoped this would present the EC12 on a world tour. There are boats in England, Sweden and France but not part of their nationals model sailing authority. Canada does recognized the class and members there travel to the US to compete.

Chris Harmer and I will be coordinating the preliminaries and received no replies to date. This posting is further advertising and inviting comment. We are sure David Brawner and some of the Mid-Atlantic clan will be available to host the event in any country wishing to see this class presented, so there is assistance available. However, a regatta is a regatta and only the looks of the model change.

Please reply privately if you wish with forum messages or directly to the subject here.

There are no details till we have an interested host country. The hemisphere and latitude matters too in considerations for weather, holidays and tourism. The hosting country knows best.

Morgan Black for 2015 and have firmed up our dates here with all concerned . They are as follows, Registration and Practice Wed Afternoon Sept 16, Racing Thurs Sept 17, Friday Sept 18, Saturday Sept 19 with dinner and trophies after. Our design and web page are being worked on and we hope to have it up shortly with an expanded date and event listing. I hope this will be satisfactory to all and would be pleased for any suggestions you can help with as to problems with past events.

Latest report from Windsor, as of this date the water is no longer a solid and sailing begins tomorrow.
Summer cannot be far behind.
Please let the host club know you are planning to come, register as early as possible so they can plan.
