Today I wrote CYC the letter below: Chester Classics c/o John W. Wurts Jr. Secratery/Treasurer 100 Scenic Drive, Oak Ridge, TN 37830 865 483 9091 john.wurts@me.com November 1, 2015 John Curry, Commodore Chester Yacht Club Jay Nadelson, Rear Commodore Chester Yacht Club Kim Johnson, Manager Chester Yacht Club cc: Christopher Wurts Rick Thompson David Creighton Christopher Ondaatje Jay Hooper Leigh Robertson Dear Ladies and Gentlemen As Secretary/Treasurer of the Chester Classics, I conducted a survey of the 2015 participants and other interested parties asking them for their opinion with respect to the proposed change of the dates of the CC Series from the three days, starting on Friday and Ending on Sunday of the weekend preceding Race Week to the weekend following Race Week. Although the count for or against was close, it slightly favored leaving the dates as they are – i.e. the weekend preceding Race Week. On the negative side, the weekend preceding Race Week conflicts with the “Round the Islands” race. The probability of winds and seas too high for CC boats to participate is quite high. In addition, only two respondents expressed an interest in participating in this race, so I eliminated that as an issue. On the positive side there are three compelling reasons for selecting the weekend preceding Race Week: There would be a much shorter period of time the crews of the boats would have to set aside for racing if they intended to race in both series. Our Race Officer, Jay Hooper, has expressed his preference to be the weekend preceding Race Week. It would be inconvenient for Gold River Marina to provide and man a committee and chase boat on the weekend following Race Week because it conflicts with their “Customer Appreciation Party.” Based on the above with the CC executive concurring, I am recommending that the time for the CC series be left as is – on the weekend preceding Race Week. It has also been suggested that management of the CC series be taken over by the Chester Yacht Club. Because of multiple considerations associated with such a plan, and with the concurrence of the CC Executive, I am informing the Chester Yacht Club that CC intends to delay such a recommendation for the immediate future and intends to retain management of the CC series for 2016. It is hoped that the Chester Yacht Club will continue to supply the same services as it did in 2015: meeting place for the Skipper’s Meeting, Credit Card services for the collection of the application fee, Scoring for the racing, etc. Very truly yours John W. Wurts Jr. Secretary/Treasurer |

Chester Classic Fleet for 2016 Survey In 2015 Virginia, Seneca, Star, Rondo, Mighty Mo, Squall, Ladiva Raced in the Chester Classic series held on Fri-Sun Aug 7-9 Hayseed, Ripple, Eclipse, and SanRay did not race in 2015. Hopefully they will return in 2016. The Chester Classics committee is eager to add more boats to the Fleet. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. It has been suggested that the dates of the Chester Classic Series be reviewed and possibly changed. Scenario 1: The schedule remains like 2015 The Schedule would look like this: Classic Series: Aug 4th CCR1 Aug 5 CCR2 Aug 6 CCR3 Race Week: Aug 10 RWR1 Aug 11 RWR2 Aug 12 RWR3 Aug 13 RWR4 Note: In this schedule CC racing and the Inner and Outer racing conflict The Bluenose International Championships will also be scheduled on Aug 5th and 6th Scenario 2. It has been Suggested that the dates for the CC series be changed to the week following Race Week. If so the schedule would look like this: Race Week: Aug 10 RWR1 Aug 11 RWR2 Aug 12 RWR3 Aug 13 RWR4 Classic Series: | Aug 19 CCR1 Aug 20 CCR2 Aug 21 CCR3 Note: This schedule eliminates conflicts but adds several days to the time it takes to conduct both series. Question 1 Will you return in 2016 under scenario 1 only? Question 2 Will you return in 2016 under scenario 2 only? Question 3. Will you return in 2016 under either scenario? If so do you prefer: Scenario 1 Or Scenario 2 Will you participate in the Classic Start during Race Week Yes No |
