A personal message from Chet Bates,

 

We now have six Sharks very actively racing twice a week, down here at Dunkirk.  Our secret being very short races, an open crew policy, and of coarse Sharks.  The problem with this is that were having trouble differentiating between the fun of racing Sharks and the development of sailing skills.  What a beautiful problem to have.

 

At present I have a small supply of white or black decals for those of us that enjoy racing Sharks.  They measure about 10 cm. high and 7 cm. wide.  You may start seeing them as skippers and crew start sporting them on their left rear bumpers or under the left rear break lights.  Now that they are out there getting the message across that the driver of this car likes sailing Sharks, I think we should export the idea to the International and Canadian Associations.  There are a lot of us out here.

 

I have given decals to our skippers and crews just to get the ball rolling.  As they catch on I think $1.50 is a better than fair price for them.  They certainly fit our need to exhibit pride in a sport we love.  I'll send separate e-mails with a picture attachment and further particulars to anyone showing an interest in these decals.
