Maugan,
Tell you what- this coming Spring Break I plan on doing one of two things:
1) Sailing from Anna Maria Island to Dry Tortugas on my G-Cat 5.7M
or
2) Heading up to the Carolinas to get my fill of sailing in the Atlantic.
If I go to the Carolinas, we can both enter the same race and you won't have to worry about placing DFL
Heck, last time I raced I didn't even remove the two anchors and line I keep tied on the forward trampoline... so much for weight watching
