[C320-list] Commodore for C-320

Fri Aug 25 06:21:51 PDT 2006

Ok. I'm interested in the commodore role. As Russ says, time to give back. I've been sailing 11 years and owner of Seychelle, hull 141, for 3 years sailing her an average 85 days a year (and I live in CT). I've been racing her for the past 2 years and try to do most work/upgrades myself (usually with help of this list). I have no plans to upgrade to bigger boat so I'm committed to success of this organization. As far as leadership experience I'm an IT exec for a Fortune 100 company and have experience at regional and national level with various non profit professional organizations. I'm not attending this years regatta, but attended last year in Newport and had a blast. There, my hat's in the ring.

Russ, thanks for the compliment but since I have never been to a regatta
nor been an officer, I don't know how I have knowledge and/or
experience.  My concern is that I might not even be able to make it to
the Tampa regatta.  If it comes between going to Spain and watching the
Cup (money or time wise) and the Regatta well, I'm off to Spain.

Maybe me expressing some interest will be enough to bring in others.

Adam and all others-
I think Hosting the 2007 regatta is not what we need or expect of the
next Commodore.  We merely need someone to keep a hand on the wheel,
pursuade someone to host the '07 regatta, not yourself.  Further we may
already have a '07 regatta in the works, no guarantee, for the Fall of
'07 in Tampa area.  If Adam is willing to be Commodore, it is something
that no one else with his expereince and knowledge of this organization
has offered to do, that's great.  We have had a few novices also say
they would do it, but I have steered them to other positions in the
group, we really just need a Commodore to look over things, someone who
knows how things have been done.
    Reading between the lines I can see Adam is not entirely certain.
Is there someone else who can just say, "Hey I've gotten alot out of
this group, let me give back for just one year", If so please step
forward otherwise perhaps we have found the right chef to cook us up a
wonderful '07 turine, or fois gras, or whatever Adam wants to make.

Thanks for including me.  The 2007 Regatta is the hang up for me.  I
want to go to Spain to watch the Cup in 2007 and although there was
something on the list about the next regatta already being planned, I
wouldn't have the money to do both.  I could accept the honor in 2006
but couldn't guarantee that I would be there in 2007.

1. I understand from Russ that we really need someone, hopefully that
has been active and at the Regatta to stand for Commodore.  It would be
great if your made your  availability known to Russ prior to the
meeting.  I hate to vote for someone we do not know and has not been at
a Regatta, it would be best if they were at more than one.
We have 70 coming so the must be someone that can come forth and grasp
the wheel.
2. It would also be very important if you can host the Regatta 2007 to
make that known so we can meet the November deadline for the Mainsheet.
I will help.
Cheers,
