Round Cat Island, October 1, 2011 - 08/08/11 01:10 PM

Was at Pass Christian YC this last weekend and the PRO/Commodore asked me to mention that multihulls of all sizes are invited to this race. 30 mile circumnavigation of Cat Island MS, see here for chart

Please, though, be advised: there are NO CHASE BOATS. You are on your own!

Given the fickleness of the wind.... be sure to take along VHF/cel phone and lights (a flashlight on the sails is all you need legally).

Reminder to everyone

this race is Oct 1, at Pass Christian YC, Mississippi

Approx 30 mi distance around Cat Island, government marks. You will likely see all sorts of conditions. There are no chase boats, so prepare accordingly.

RTC is hella fun, especially blowing by the leaners on your way round the island!
