I live in Long Beach CA and we have 14 Formula-18 regattas planned for this year. There are four Hobie regattas to pick from outside that number and plenty of pick up races, available through the Yacht Clubs, that are not on the schedule. These do not include any Nationals or Worlds events. 1/2 of the regattas are within 1/2 hour of me.

I pleasure sail every weekend there is not a regatta. I also sail Etchells on Thurday nights and some local regattas. I just started a Thumb Boat Fleet (Radio Controlled) at my Yacht Club. We are getting 30 boats in the first order and plan on sailing those at the Yacht Club basin Friday afternoons.

Plenty of sailing...so why do I want more?

Later,
Dan
