Dear Sailors-
The 2008 George Warren Smith Trophy will be, perhaps, the largest collegiate event in North America this year with 28 teams currently signed up. MIT is proud to host you and we encourage people to be aware that Storrow Drive westbound from the big dig to Mass Ave will have a right lane restriction for the juvenile diabetes walk. You might consider getting off at a prior exit and making your way over Beacon Hill or through Somerville and East Cambridge if coming from the north. Parking is available on Memorial Drive westbound or in any of the MIT parking lots. The signage can be ignored after 3 on weekdays or on any weekend. Our grille will be available for all competitors to use and teams are encouraged to bring a bailing bucket as well as a large sponge to bail out their bow and stern floatation tanks. We are experimenting with a new web based scoring program for college sailing and need ALL contestants to be registered on the icsa database before arriving on Saturday morning. This should have already been done during the Fall but, please take care of this important responsibility before arriving to the event. http://www.collegesailing.org/directory/individual/ Thanks in advance for checking your teams' competitor eligibility status prior to Saturday. The program can only use personnel who are registered. -Franny Charles ----------------------------------- Francis Charles MIT Sailing Master 'Jack Wood' Sailing Pavilion 3 Ames Street Cambridge, MA 02142 T- 617-253-2875 W- 617-253-4884 C- 857-221-0828 http://sailing.mit.edu/ _________________________________________________ neisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.collegesailing.org/mailman/?listname=neisa
