[L16-usa] MDI Invitational for 2007

[T R Rolfes]

Dear Luders Sailors:

The Mount Desert Island Luders Fleet, with the help of members of the 
Frenchman Bay Luders Fleet, and under the sponsorship of the Southwest 
Harbor Fleet of Maine, is proposing a L16 Invitational Meet on the 
weekend after Labor Day, 2007, in commemoration of the staging of the 
first L16 Nationals held here in 1947.
   Specific arrangements will be worked out in detail over the winter 
months, but at this stage of planning it would be helpful to obtain 
expressions of interest in participating in such an event. The Fleet 
would welcome participation not only from fleets and L16 owners who are 
currently racing, but also from L16 owners who previously raced and 
would like to resume racing. The Fleet expects to have in the 
neighborhood of 15 to 20 boats available, and in addition to supplying 
supplementary crew where needed, would also extend an offer of 
hospitality to visiting sailors. It is not envisioned that participants 
would bring sails.
   Please indicate by return e mail your interest in this or possible 
future events in Maine. Please also include brief information about your 
L16 experience and activities. Selection criteria will be devised based 
on the interest shown. We look forward to sharing our beautiful sailing 
environment with fellow Luders owners.

(A Notice of Race is being developed to provide additional information.)

Regards,

Tom Rolfes
