Duane Wolff’s buddy, Bill Meinert, posted the following comment to the “Duane Wolff continues to mislead the membership” post below.
“Hey Butthead, you want an honest answer to why I have volunteered to be the Race Committee Chairman for the 2007 Nationals in Cleveland, not Duane, (it was not his idea) it was purely mine and I made the sujestion for next years venue to be held again in Cleveland because as of that date no one had come forward to volunteer to host the the 2007 event. Including you!! You talk a lot of shit, but we don't see you organizing anything for the good of us all. So be a man and realize none of us realy give a crap about what you think.

Apparently spelling is not his forte’, neither are his arguments.
Bill Meinert has been part of the Midwest group that has used the Nationals for their own agenda for many years. For Mr. Meinert to be Duane Wolff’s surrogate is disingenuous and a ploy that neither the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association. members will buy and we are sure the Edgewater Water Yacht Club officers and trusties will find troubling.
We look forward to awarding of the Nationals by this gang of officers.

Edgewater Water Yacht Club Officers Will Be Notified
There seems to be a bit of a delay in awarding the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association. 2007 Nationals.
That could be because the Association Officers know that if they award the Nationals to Bill Meinert and the Edgewater Water Yacht Club for the second year in a row, the Officers and Trusties of the Edgewater Water Yacht Club will all get a detailed memo as to how Rev. Don Peet and Duane Wolff have misused their positions with the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association to deny the Association members a way to participate in the selection of the Nationals. They have denied the members the democratic process they paid for and used the Edgewater Yacht Club as unknowing dupes in their agenda.

Oh Boo Hoo
It’s so sad to read Frank Hopper’s post on the Forum (requires free registration)
“Since it is incumbent on me as the Vice Commodore and therefore the National Regatta Committee Chairman to facilitate the bidding process I am feeling pretty low right now.”
What a crock…. Frank Hopper made NO attempt to get the word out to the Local Fleets and there has never been a TaleTell, the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association. newsletter, sent out in past two years.
Now In the same post we read;
“Yesterday Bill Mienert submitted a bid to hold the 07 regatta back at Edgewater (that’s the Edgewater Water Yacht Club that Duane Wolff used last year) during the Cleveland race week.”
Gee Suprise Surprise!!
Frank Hopper goes on to write’;
“I am disappointed that I have not adequately communicated the excitement and satisfaction that comes with holding a National Championship Regatta. I am certain that next year's Vice Commodore will do a better job.”
Another crock…
Frank Hopper is the only nominee for Commodore. More on the elections latter.
So there you have it. A perfectly executed plan to let Duane Wolff and his buddies continue to use the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association. for there own private party at the the Edgewater Water Yacht Club
Nicely Done!!

Duane Wolff Continues to Mislead the Membership
Reading Duane Wolff’s post on the the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association. Forum
“Web Utilization Stats –“ (requires registration on the Forum, it’s free) proves the point that the Forum does not serve the membership.
Duane Wolff writes;
“As of 6/30/2007 we had 712 members …of the 712 almost 45 percent have been to our site in the past year and 37% have posted.”
First of all the year is 2006 MORON!!!
But more to the point of the 712 association members 55% do not use the Forum. That almost 400 paid members who gain no benefit from Duane and Frank’s precious Forum. That represents $8800.00 of the Catalina-Capri-25s association’s income.
It proves that the Forum does not serve the membership and using the Forum for the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association. business, like elections and hosting the Nationals, is a misuse and manipulation of members paid dues.
Frank Hopper, Vice Commodore and Duane Wolff continue their campaign to disenfranchise the majority of the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association members and use the Association for their own agendas.
This is important because Frank Hopper, Vice Commodore has no regard for any member who does not use the Forum and he is the sole nominee for Commodore in the upcoming elections.
August 15th is rapidly approaching, it will be interesting to see who receives the right to host the 2007 National Regatta, see the 8/05/06 post below.

Frank Hopper, Vice Commodore
A Sad Post and a Misuse of Office
Frank Hopper, Vice Commodore who’s duty it is to find a suitable host for the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association’s National Regatta posted the following on the Association Forum;
“Today is Aug 1st. Still no formal bid."
Frank Hopper, Vice Commodore who’s duty it is to find a suitable host for the Catalina 25/250 – Capri 25 International Association’s National Regatta posted the following on the Association Forum;
“Today is Aug 1st. Still no formal bid."
He is refering to a host for the 2007 National Regata.
Frank Hopper has not made any attempt to communicate with Fleet Captains to have them use their organizations to host the Nationals. Many of these local fleets have good racing programs.
Instead he has just posted the one thread on the Forum and left it at that. The result is that Duane Wolff will be able to hold the regatta at the Edgewater Yacht Club where he continues to brown nose the Edgewater officers.
Frank Hopper’s continued misuse of his office keeps the majority of the Catalina-Capri-25s membership out in the cold.
