Kris and I were thrilled at all the grateful and positive comments from Competitors from around the world. Among the most meaningful to us were the comments on the hospitality and welcoming spirit of the many club members who worked so hard to put on what will be long remembered as one of the best J/24 Worlds in history! The list of members and volunteers to thank is long indeed. Among those who stood out are Dan Peck and his facilities team who moved, launched and hauled 96 boats and their trailers throughout the regatta - including hauling 88 boats in four hours on the last day of the regatta!., Donna DePeters and her registration team who guided 500 sailors through registration - dealing with the arcane process of J/24 measurement, insurance, crew weight, and many language barriers (Thank God for teachers!) Chris Dorsey who stepped up to provide spectator and support boats for our many guests ., Donna Faust, Betsy Lawless and Linda Summers who ran a world class web presence and media team that provided constant coverage of results, photos and stories to Facebook, Twitter, coveritlive.com and other sources.
