ETCHELLS UPDATE
November 20, 2005
From Peter Craig; Race Chairman:
Like you, we at Premiere Racing recently received the news that the
Jaguar Series will be happening in its entirety as scheduled. A great
piece of news for the Etchells class!
As I mentioned to last year’s competitors in a separate email, we will
definitely have Etchells racing on our Biscayne Bay circle next March at
Acura Miami Race Week (3 days of racing / March 10-12, 2006).
I just returned from Miami where I met with Tom Piper and Dave Brennan at
Biscayne Bay YC. The Shake-A-Leg Miami facility - Race Headquarters for
Acura Miami Race Week - was virtually undamaged by Hurricane Wilma. While
there was significant damage to the BBYC docks, the club is already up and
running and the inner basin will be operational prior to the Piana Cup.
It is our hope that those Etchells that race in the Jag Series and are
entered in our event will be able to store their boats at BBYC
following the last Jaguar Series weekend and use the inner basin for in
water rafting during the regatta as they did in 2005. We discussed these
issues with Tom and Dave in Miami. At this point in time, this looks like
the likely scenario. Only an early start with the new dock installation at
BBYC would preclude this from happening. Tom should have more definitive
word at your Piana Cup on December 10 & 11. We will have alternative
Etchells storage and staging options in place should this not be the case.
We very much hope to build on last year’s 30-boat Etchells class
for Premiere Racing’s second Miami event. We will post relevant Etchells
logistics information on the event web site as it becomes available.
I hope that you will be able to join us next March. If you have any
questions please don’t hesitate to call (781-639-9545) or
email me.
Best regards,
Peter

Event Director & Race Chairman
