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!!
