Is there any interest in making a concerted effort to get the F16 fleets together at a fall regatta? We have the Gulfport Invitational in the Spring, but it would be nice if we had something in the Fall, as well.

Juana's Good Time Regatta (Navarre Beach, FL on Sept 8/9, 2007) may be a good location/format. Distance race on Saturday (32ish miles) and triangles on Sunday. Not a serious race weekend, but plenty of time for socializing and building friendships. More info on the host and sailing venue can be found at www.juanaspagodas.com. Lots of families, my kids spent hours on the volleyball court last year.

Does it conflict with any large Central FL regattas? If so, lets throw out some other options....

Dude, I would so be up for that! Juana's location is a prime sailing area. The only thing I can see being a problem for me is that I will be relocating during that time.

Sounds like there maybe some interest. I am open to any location/time. There has traditionally been good wind at this regatta, but still have good air temps. Last year had 10 or so spin boats (ARC22, I20, F18HT, F18).

Are there any other suggestions for timing or location?

Me too!

Todd: I'll be at GYC this Saturday for our club race. http://www.gulfportyachtclub.com/

Drop by and let's get acquainted. Seth Stern is usually there with his Taipan, so you would make three F16s. If Tback would postpone his flooring project. . .!

My boat is already there, mast up, so I'll be glad to give you a hand rigging.

btw- JPOR may be the oldest cat regatta in Florida. I first attended back in the late '70s. Always a good party.

Not a serious race weekend,




WHAT!!!??? ROFLMAO!! Did you really think you could slip that past?

Did you guys see Wouter's suggestion that we petition for a lower handicap? 63.5 I think.

I'm fine with it. Officers should call an internet meeting.
