The Hogs Breath Saloon has announced that it will NOT sponsor the "Hogs Breath 100" race this year, but may wish to return next year. We are looking for alternatives this year. Under consideration are 1, new sponsor, same race; 2, New race to Marathon and return (approx 90 miles), same day or in two days; 3, A reverse race from Key West; 4. A new Tybee tune up race, with distance and boat endurance practice involved, sponsored by the Tybee organization. An annoncement will follow decision, ASAP.
We are interested in what you Sailors want. We will keep it an open race with boats 18 - 22 feet, with Dagger Boards and Spinnakers (hopefully with classes); or open it up even more with different courses for boats without spinnakers. The dates will remain 25-26 April 2009. Send your ideas to [email protected] . We will listen to your ideas and wishes, but a decision must be made soon. Please respond quickly. It is very likely the race will have a new name as well.
