No apology needed. It is a huge commitment to make even one race down here each year. If you look at my earlier thread, Hiram's Haul was cancelled. I will pass your interest in the Tybee to Chuck and look forward to seeing you at the Steeplechase.

Craig, posted before I saw the other thread. Hopefully you can make it over to Sarasota next week and we can discuss 2015 Tybee with the F18 sailors who are present. I will help however I can to make this a reality, but I see the following as major hiccups:
1) Lot of guys want to do a 1,000 mile race, they've done the Tybee and want something bigger
2) F18's have A LOT on the Calendar-Nationals, World's, Catacup. Financially we need to plan well in advance for these events. I.e, for a 2015 Tybee we need to know this February the dates and plan for the event, as I likely won't sign up for 2014 Catacup, whose registration is April 1st...I can't afford to do both events within a 6 month time frame, unless I win the lottery or someone steps up as a major sponsor. This is the reality; I have no problem putting down a 2015 Tybee entry fee in 2014 IF I know that money will be refunded 3+ months out from the event if it fails to materialize. Past experience has left a bitter taste in the mouths of the N20 sailors, and some F18 guys remember those days...
