Greeting Lightning Sailors, The Brotz Regatta is on! We have seen a decline in new infections and positivity rates statewide and here in Sheboygan. Although declining the new case levels are currently high however the Washington University Model(link below) predicts further declines now that Wisconsin has adopted a mask mandate. With a nod to safety we have made a few modifications to tradition. There will be no organized social events and the regatta has been shortened to one day(Saturday, August 29). Without all that food and drink to buy the entry fee has been slashed to $25. Competitors may sail with two people if they wish in order to ease the pressure to raise a crew from outside your household, club, or community. The guidelines we have all gotten used to are listed in the Notice of Race(attached) just as a reminder. Please let us know you’re coming by signing up on this Who's Coming List. We’ve got plenty of space and two working hoists. Hope to see a bunch of you there. Let’s have a little Lightning fun at the Brotz Regatta three Saturdays from now. Cheers to all, Hans
