I got an email recently from Hootie Bushardt:

Outback Cup Regatta
Lake Murray Yacht Racing Association
Lake Murray, SC Columbia Sailing Club
October 2 & October 3, 2010

Benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association - Friedreich Ataxia

(Pre-registration Deadline Monday September 27, 2010)


This year the Outback Cup Regatta will celebrate 11 years on Lake Murray. It has grown into the largest and most popular event held for keelboats and multi-hulls on the lake. Its tremendous popularity is due to awesome parties, outstanding food, facilities second to none and sailing geared to all types of sailors from cruisers to hard core racers. This regatta, organized by LMYRA and hosted by Columbia Sailing Club, will be held Oct 2 and 3. For the last several years proceeds from this regatta have been donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to fight Friedreich Ataxia. So far, we have raised over $18,000 to fight this disease.

For Notice of Race and further information about the regatta, check our website lmyra.org or email regatta chairman - Tom Kelly at [email protected]. Attached is a copy of the NOR for your convenience. If you are a sailor, I know this is an event that you don’t want to miss. Forward this note on to your friends and let’s continue to make this a great event!

PS: I can’t wait to see you multi-hull sailors back this year. You folks have a fun loving spirit that is awesome.
See you at the Outback Regatta
