I don't know about just one favorite, but I really enjoy the Sun Fun Cat Dash sponsored by the N. Myrtle Beach, SC Chamber of Commerce. It takes place the last weekend in May. The Le Mans start is colorful and exciting, there are lots of spectators, and hey, it's a weekend out at the beach for everyone. I can't speak to wind or conditions because I didn't race and, of course, it varies from year to year, but Jake and I have gone out the day after the race and had a great time sailing up and down the coastline. There are cash prizes and the organizers really show everyone a good time with a dinner and wine tasting at the local vinyard, La Belle Amie. It's part of the Sun Fun Festival, so there are lots of activites for the whole family during the weekend.
