The following letter was sent to the Officers of the Edgewater Yacht Club
Gentlemen,
It appears that the Catalina 25/250 & Capri 25 International Association Officers
http://www.catalina-capri-25s.org/officers.asp
intend to use your Yacht club to host their so called “Nationals” again next year, in 2007.
Their 2006 “Nationals” were awarded to Duane Wolff, who used your organization, under very troubling circumstances.
Please visit the Catalina 25/250 Observer Blog at
http://c25-250-observer.blogspot.com/
and discuss amongst yourselves and your trusties whether this is in the best interest of your organization.
The decision to welcome the C25/C250 & Capri 25 Nationals is, of course, in your hands we simply ask that you look at the history that led the C25/250 – Capri 25 “Nationals” to your door step.
Thank you,
John G- & Catalina 25/250 Observers

The continued arrogance of the C25-C250 & Capri 25 Officers is amazing.
The C25-C250 & Capri 25 Officers are willing to disenfranchise their own membership and use the Edgewater Yacht Club for their own agenda.

Regarding the participation of the Catalina 25/250 Class Association at Edgewater Yacht Club.
Speaking for myself and Cleveland Race Week and as the Race Officer at Edgewater Yacht Club, I have to say that I am somewhat offended that Edgewater Yacht Club and, by extension, myself and Cleveland Race Week are being drug through the mud in what seems to be a disagreement within your organization. The events, real or imaginary, surrounding the selection of Edgewater Yacht Club to host the 2006 and 2007 Nationals is, as it should be, of little or no interest to us.
We host, on average, four or five "National" events every year.
To suggest that Edgewater was in anyway part of a conspiracy or that somehow Duane Wolf managed to cook the bid with Edgewater's complicity couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, there is no element of truth to it. The bid process, requirements and expectations are the same for every organization without regard to their "history." We receive far more bids than we accept.
As to our history with the Catalina 25/250 organization, I can tell you that, without exception, every competitor at last years event conducted themselves with class and dignity. Consequently, we are delighted to have the Catalina 25/250 participants returning this year.
I wish you luck in sorting out your internal issues. But, please, in future, do not involve Edgewater Yacht Club or Cleveland Race Week in this sort of debate.
Mike Dills,
EWYC Fleet Captain
Race Chair - Cleveland Race Week
