How Big Should They Be?

19 March 2013

As you know, when you plan a regatta, many questions have to be asked, and answers agreed upon. Perhaps one of the most difficult questions to get answers to is the often asked question, “does size really matter,” or put another way, “how big should they be?”

It is a question your Regatta Committee has pondered over for a while now. Discussions, late into the night, have taken place over innumerable cups of coffee and the occasional cold beverage. Thoughts and views have been put forward, discussed and discarded. Comparisons have been made, reviewed and rejected. Agreement and disagreement seemed to run in parallel. Oh dear, how big should they be!!

The question, “does size really matter”, after much discussion and soul searching, sleepless nights and cell phone calls, has been resolved. We have a unanimous agreement that “size really does matter,” and now we need your help to resolve the problem.

We are about to order shirts for the regatta, we need to know your size, small, medium, large and so on up to 4XL. When you enter Algoa Bay Week, Please discuss your size with your crew and indicate your sizes on the entry form.

We thank you for your assistance in helping us to resolve this most difficult of problems. We look forward to seeing you on the start line on April 27th, in the right sized shirt.

Sincerely

Your Regatta Committee.
