Attention Race Committees

Not much for race committees to do in Maine this time of year, except maybe get a bunch of organizational details out of the way so you don't find you are missing an important piece of the puzzle  in the middle of your big summer regatta.  In addition to a good group of people, running races properly requires collecting a bunch of stuff.  The Desert Sea  - New Mexico Sailing blog has a pretty exhaustive list of what that stuff is. (Thanks to Scuttlebutt for the link)   If you are going to be running a regatta this year, you might want to make a copy of this list as a starting point for your own equipment check list.
