1. Al Poindexter reported that he had attended PHRF SoCal meeting to present PHRF-San Diego letter of withdrawal. This was not well received, although SoCal may need a dues increase if San Diego withdrew. Withdrawal provisionally accepted, while good continuing relations among the entities were stressed. SoCal suggested we still plan to do 2001 Ch'ship regatta. Withdrawal of PHRF-SD is not a board decision, and must be submitted to the PHRF-SD membership for approval.
2. SoCal scheduled First Reading for Soverel 33. PHRF-SD should also consider reviewing Soverel 33. If done, we should complementarily review Olson 30.
3. New boat factors being considered, resulting new criteria used to establish ULDB numbers. ULDB number will be different on certificates.

1. Captain:Wayne investigated membership in US Sailing. Need to submit application with $325 fee (based on # boats in fleet). Membership includes manuals, instructions, and guidance from US Sailing. Proposed to submit for year 2000. MSP
   Regatta liability insurance available for regattas sponsored by any member entity ($315/yr for $1m coverage). PHRF-SD does not per se sponsor regattas. This is done by area YC's. Care needed in wording of regatta announcements, esp. PHRF-SD Ch'ship regatta.
   Insurance premiums for officers and Directors are quoted individually.
   Budget committee needs to meet to discuss expense of separation.
2. Secretary:No report.
3. Roster Secretary:No report.
4. Treasurer:Budget status report distributed. No expenses 2 months. (NB from Fl Capt: need to review 2000 budget plan as proposed fleet is ~270 boats @ $30 = ~$8,100 for operations).
5. Handicapper:Need decision whether to do PHRF SoCal Ch'ship regatta in 2001. We will do and need to develop club sponsor(s) and (preferably) schedule feeder races.
6. Measurer/Scorer:No Report.
7. Data Systems:Ken distributed current fleet roster for review. Please report any corrections to KG.
   Ken distributed provisional bylaws. All to review proposed changes.
   Renewals: ask SoCal to print certificates & renewal applications. Forward all to PHRF-SD. Update our records first, then PHRF-SD will mail & return applications to SoCal. Possibility of splitting mailing costs.
8. Past Captain:
   

1. PHRF-SD Ch'ship Regatta: worksheet of action items and sample SI's were distributed. Discussion of regatta format as one day/3 races. MSP
   RLC will be non-spinnaker only and 1 race only.
   Need to delete Sect 1B 5-race rule?
2. Discussion of Bishop Rock Race. Time limit too long. Eliminate boats w/hdcp >162. Not a good venue for High-Point participation. Recommend to 2000 High-Point committee that BR be eliminated as a HP race. Committee formed to designate High Point races for 2000. Committee: Al Poindexter, Chair, with Marty McGee and Mike Roach.
   

Meeting adjourned at 10:30p.m.
