Will Matt Bounds show up to sail against Billy Whitehurst in the F 17 Class? Who will actually sail with Captain Kirk on a Hobie 16? Joe Mac and Chris appear to be a top pick in the Hobie 20s. The Wave Class will sail under the IWCA Rules - so Ya'll come now - ya hear?

Remember the casinos are only a few minutes away following the Regatta paries, and if you go to sleep before 3:00 am then you may not be "eleigible" for racing the next day. Bourbon Street is a little over two hours from the regatta site - for the bravest night - crawlers only.

All,

The 40th annual Hobie Midwinters East Regatta is not far away (March 20-21). If you plan on attending (or might attend), please RSVP at www.regattas.ning.com/page/midwinter-east-2010. This will encourage others to attend when they see how the field is shaping up.

The registration deadline has been extended to March 8th. After you RSVP, you can download the Registration form if you wish (NOR and registration attached for your convenience as well).

Typical wind for this time of year is 10+ and a temp around 80 degrees. The Friday and Saturday night parties are going to be outstanding with lots of food and spirits. What a great way to kick off the sailing season!

See you in Mississippi.
