Isnt that the image from the collision at the F18 Worlds in Australia?
anyway, I have approached springmaid Beach about a regatta several times, and they are in. Its right beside Huntington beach State Park(the beach adjoins Springmaid) and also has a big grassy staging area, a nice ramp to the beach and is relatively cheap place to stay. Ive sailed from there all my life, and it is also right beside Charlies Boat rental(Downwind sails) place. Grand Strand sailing Association's old place was also right beside it until thier lease ran out. That spot is still vacant, but this summer I saw the national Lifegaurd championships being run from thier. They tool over the whole lot with camping and beach access, so maybe they will be open to us taking over that spot for a long weekend too.
On another note, in the early 90's we ran the Cat Dash from thier to the Seay Bouy at Murrell's Inlet, about 24 total miles there and back. It was some of the best sailing ever, maybe we can do that again. The problem is a chase boat. If we have anyone that can do that, I can organize this regatta for us from Springmaid, maybe the other spot as well, but definitley Springmaid.
Can anyone Google Earth Springmaid Beach and surrounding area?
