Since the last update on this regatta, the depth of competition has gotten even deeper. Here are some new additions:

1. Randy Smyth will be sailing an LR2 with a new mainsail design.
2. Robbie Daniel will be looking to avenge his second place Trials finish against Charlie Ogeltree.
3. Mitch Booth has another passport and will be sailing as a Spaniard with a Dutch sail number!
4. Epic ocean sailor Cam Lewis will be joining us. At 6'3" and the frame to go with it, I would not line up to leeward of Cam on the starting line in anything over 10 knots.
5. Matt Struble decided to quit polishing his ice runners for a couple of weeks and the DN Iceboat World Champ will dust off his Flyer for some soft H20 racing.

The entry number is still at the maximum limit of 100 with a few still on the waiting list hoping for last minute cancellations. We have been contacted by lots of sailing magazines and websites wanting daily updates and our newest member Tom Siders has volunteered to handle that task. We have been contacted by a TV company that wants to film the event.

With four Olympic medalists, several world champions, and who knows how many national or continental champions in the fleet, this is shaping up to be THE MULTIHULL regatta of the year.

So why aren't the rest of you sailing A-Cats?
