All yawl (the plural of yawl) F16 sailors from central and south Florida owe us a trip north. Also we need an F16 get together prior to the global challenge. Below is a list of panhandle events that are good opportunities.
July 11-12 Meigs Regatta - Ft Walton Beach - My favorite regatta last year. It is a big regatta that includes all the small monohull boats. Ft Walton Yacht Club put on a great event.
Aug 22-23 Big Mouth Regatta in Pensacola. The first day is a distance race out to the sea buoy in the gulf. It is a lot of fun. It is also a big monohull regatta. We start well behind the monohulls and the idea is that no monohull should beat you to the finish.
Sept 12-13 Juana good time regatta at Juana's Pagoda in Navarre. The first day is a distance race and the second buoys. It is also a very "good time".
I think with prior coordination we could get three days of racing at all of the above.
