We wish to thank all the participants that filled out the online survey. We have been examining your comments closely and will be using many of the suggestions made. For those that have not filled it out, we would still like you to complete the online survey that should take only 10 minutes. We will be closing it on Sunday, August 17, so you still have an opportunity to be heard.
Since the online survey only provides comments anonymously we would in encourage you to send in comments that you would like a response to the following email address: mack_chair@byc.com
We would also like to inform you that for those boats that were awarded a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd flag and Doyle Club Trophy winners will be sent an invitation to attend the awards banquet on Friday, September 19th.

We would like to thank you for your participation in the 2008 Bayview Mackinac Race and hope it was a rewarding experience. In order to improve the quality of this world class event, we would like you to help out by filling out a two page online survey to the link that was sent out by email that should take 10 minutes.
The first page will ask questions on how you think the race was run and asks for suggestions on how to improve it. The second page of the survey will ask you demographic questions for attracting sponsors. We feel it is important to show them with statistics we are reaching an attractive prime audience. If successful, we can use the sponsorship money to defray costs and keep the entry fees down. Since this survey is given anonymously, we will not sell your personal information to any commercial interests. The answers will only be used for statistical data.
Thank you for your help.
