The Zhik Southern Area Winter Series kicks off this weekend in Eustis, FL with the WildCat Regatta. Come join us, it's a great group of people with no shortage of wildlife.

Good luck to all the Zhik Southern Area F18 Winter Series competitors.

The winter series makes a stop at the 2012 Charlotte Harbor Regatta, Feb. 2-5, 2012.

Find out what F18 Class prez David Ingram is talking about when he told us, "There is a distinct buzz on the beach about this event, not just within the F18 class but the Hobie 16 class as well."

Three days of racing, four nights of parties, low entry fee ($60 with early entry and US Sailing membership), low hotel rates, friendly volunteers.

If that doesn't convince you to Sail Charlotte Harbor, folks competing in the Tradewinds event in January in the Keys can take advantage of our free short-term storage before and after CHR. See what the buzz is about on Charlotte Harbor.

Better bring your big boy diapers Dave, I'll be on a C2 for Charlotte Harbor.

Your own, or pulling strings for Robbie?

Pulling strings for Robbie.

I know, its gonna be me dragging him around the course, but it was a last minute thing... Tough to find a good skipper last minute. [/sarcasm]

Prepare yourself - Robbie is a delight to sail with and there is a lot you can learn by watching him. Great opportunity; GL and HF. ;-)
