Hello All
I wanted to give everyone an early heads up for the upcoming US Sailing Alter cup qualifier at Miles River YC Sept 29th and 30th.
US Sailing organizes championship regattas for all classes of boats with a competition ladder in each region with the winner representing the region. The US Multihull Championship is viewed as one of the best managed of these championships in large part because the multihull council recruits a builder of a popular multihull class to provide 10 boats for the week long championship event. This year’s championship is in the spring in Gulfport Florida. The other championships are entirely dependent on borrowed boats and steep chartering fees. This coming spring the championship will use the Capricorn F18 from Australia.
Last year we were surprised at the terrible turnout and covered our costs out of the CRAC bank account. The regatta needs your attendance or I will not continue to organize it with Miles River.
