To: Swifts in the Midwest, Short notice I know but this looks like a great
regatta and a great opportunity to sail and at the least to show the boat to
people who might be interested in skiff sailing. If you have the time, showing
at this regatta would be a good start to growing the fleet in your area -
everyone's responsibility! Even if you are not going to race. Please support
the Midwest high-performance sailing group if you can. The sparkplug contact is

June 10-12 3rd Annual Midwest Skiff Challenge!
This is the third annual Madison Skiff Challenge. It is organized by the
Midwest High Performance Sailing group (http://www.highperformancesailing.org )
and hosted by The Madison Sailing Center, Madison, Wisconsin. This is going to
be the event of the year for mid-west skiff sailing that you really don't want
to miss! We are hoping to use this to promote skiff sailing through demos and
rides for those without a boat and support, coaching and some racing for those
with a boat.
We have people coming from Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis and beyond.
This has been a great annual event. Some of the boats that should be there:
Vectors, International 14's, 470's. This event is open to any skiff or similar
boat.
So, if you want to sail fast (No boat? Boat but no crew? We'll be happy to help
match people and boats) then check the website and register!
Please see the Notice of Race on the website as well as registration
information, accommodation recommendation, and other info.
Please come for any or all of the event... and please register so we have a
head count!

Hope to see you there!
