Posts: 2,921 Michigan | Makes sense to me. If there is generally more wind in May (haven't been paying attention long enough to really notice) then it makes sense. The issue of decreased risk of hurricanes is likely the best point. Does this mean Juana's Regatta would be moved as well? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> p.s. is FWYC ever going to post the complete results from the 2006 RTI?

If there is a down side I can't think of one.
Now what am I going to do with that sporty new paddle?

Posts: 473 Panama City, Florida | Why don't they do it in January when the cold fronts come through? Water temp hovers in the low 60s. Everyone from up north would love to come down and sail. We are usually so close to shore it shouldn't be a safety concern, and we would surely finish quicker than the 21 hours it took this year. Maybe I am just a glutton for punishment and can't wait to get out there and do it again. We are sure to be faster... let me go find some wood to knock on.

Ding Steeplechase? Sounds like a good plan to me.

Posts: 404 Chattanooga, TN | Think it would be good. Help make the trip easier with the extra day. Didn't know about the other races in the Gulf the same wkend. Maybe if they don't change the date some one could let me know of other regattas in the Gulf. It is a trip from Chattanooga, but would like to come and race on a long wkend.

From the grapevine, a BIG sponsor dictates that weekend over here.

I would have to agree with the majority of the posts primarily due to the local factors on that holiday weekend. If you recall, we usually avoid sailing that weekend due to the number of power boats and jet skiis on the water. Not to mention the jacked up motel/condo rates and traffic in FWB/Destin, plus the general increased boat/recreation going on at the club itself. Also would strongly take into account the Slip to Ship as 20 plus years is a lot of history.
As far as alternatives (because I agree a different time of the year would be great) earlier in May might work out. No apparent conflicts, wind should be fairly stable out of the SE or SSW, and you could then try to get me after I kick your butt at the Mug Race.
