Twenty one (21) A-Class catamarans are pre-registered for this coming weekend for the 1st annual Admiral's Cup regatta to be held on Port Charlotte Bay and sailed from Ben and Nan Hall's new property in Bokeelia, FL. It is hoped that with the number of pre-registered boats, the fleet size will end up at around 25-30 boats. The address that most of the boats will setup is 7816 Bocilla Lane, Bokeelia, FL. You turn right off Stringfellow Rd and the driveway is the second one on the left. It will have an “A Cat” sign.
The event schedule begins on Friday with an all day rig setup/tuning and boat handling clinic taught by 2007 A-Class World Championship runner-up and multiple A-Class North American Champion Lars Guck. Lars will continue to be on the water on Saturday, the first day of racing and will conduct a de-brief of the racing at the end of the day. Racing concludes on Sunday.
