If anyone saw me try to team race this past weekend they would know SYC can do w/out me for MG.In general I think the current syestem of everyone bringing their schedules to the GYA meeting works pretty well-if there are conflicts they can usually be resolved.My point was that w'national regattas we just don't have flexibility as w/local or even regional events.Finally as per my earlier post the march dates were picked to avoid conflicts w/other national events not bc of weather stats althogh that was pretty good-now we've probaly jinxed ourselves and won't have any wind.
