Read on for information on the grants.

It appears that the regatta sponsors will distribute a travel grant to each North American boat which traveled from as far away as Chicago. I believe that the following teams are entitled to a grant. If your name appears on this list, there is no need for you to communicate with me. If your name does not appear on this list, and you believe you meet the requirements for a grant (North American boat travelling from as at least as far away as Chicago), please send me an email at gmacynelson@gmacynelson.com. The plan is to deposit the sponsor’s check in the class’ account, and then write a check to each team.
