I will be helping to organize it. I got an email and briefly talked to Warren on the phone earlier this week. I have been meaning to follow up but I have been tied up with the 24 Hours of Daytona.
In a nutshell: Florida 300, which would start in Islamorada, and make stops in Biscayne Key, Singer Island, Vero Beach, then end in Cocoa Beach. This is about 300 miles and the legs are 55 to 80 miles each. The timing would be May but not include Mothers Day. So the potential days would be to rig up on May 18th and race May 19 -22, wrapping up evey thing on the 22nd including a meal and awards event.
Possible Fleets: All spinnaker boats with crew of two. Any number of fleets a minimum of 5 per fleet An open class of spinnaker boats again with crew of at least two. A minimum length of 17 feet with a possible considertaion of F-16 with crew of 2.
Other considerations: Try to hold entry fee to $300 plus beginning and ending meals, etc
I have another idea I am running by Warren, Chuck and Larry. I don't want make it public unless they think it is worth pursuing.
Singer Island...Really? What a ghetto. Good Gumbo though.
