The lead - in event will be the F 16 National Championship at StABYC November 9 - 11, and the racing for the 2012 'Alter Cup' will be on Pensacola Bay November 15 - 18.
We learned a lesson during Tradewinds, and that lesson was, "Thou shalt not stack titles."
Our yacht clubs and the MHCC wish to assist the US Formula 16 Class Association in building its destiny by supporting both events with equal enthusiasm so that youth sailors may gain valuable ground while they are 'at weight' on the boat. Youth sailors can sail Optis for only so long :)IMHO
We enjoyed eight races during our midwinters this weekend. Taylor Reiss overcame the self inflicted wound of bringing his C2 tiller cross bar for the Viper 16. I told him how proud I was that he came back on day two by his capacity for mental toughness. Taylor and my grandson were the Fleet winners. Photos and results will be available soon.
I have the Sailwave html, and I am waiting on the yc webmaster to pen them. Sail with Aloha!
