TellTale Newsletter - September 2005

My name is Duane Wolff and me and my Catalina 25 Swing Keel, “The Flying Wasp”, have been members of the association since 1999. I’ve been the Chief Measurer of the Association for 5 of those years, I am currently the oldest sitting officer on the board and just recently served as race chair of our 2006 National regatta . We as an association have accomplished many things in the past few years. The enhancement of the website, the initiation of group discounts and affiliate programs, the inclusion of the Capri 25’s along with the rewriting of our constitution. We set some lofty goals over the past couple of years both short and long term and I’d like to see them to fruition. I’d like to see more association backed cruising activities, find new ways to develop our fleets, and create a hull database and explore and implement more ways to enrich the value of our boats. This association has done a great job adding to the value of these great boats, I ask for your vote so that I might finish much of what we’ve started. Thank you.
