Hey, Bob,
When you are down here in the hinterlands where there is little sailing at all, much less catamaran sailing, trying to find people and boats to help with a regatta is VERY difficult.

We are lucky if we get enough people to set up and run ONE course (with inside and outside courses).
Two SEPARATE courses would be impossible. We do the best with what we have to work with.

To me, it is always a miracle that we manage to get enough boats and people to make the regatta happen, when we don't have a fleet in our area to help out.

I always figure we are very lucky if we have two chase boats.

So what do you think? Should the Tradewinds Regatta just not happen any more? OR do you want to volunteer to bring additional powerboats and people for race committee so we can have two separate courses?

Big thanks to all those who did come from outside the Keys to help out with the event!!

Mary
