Hello All,

Last year we had a short two day distance race (22 miles one way) from the Davis Island beach to the Sunshine Skyway where we spent the night and returned to Davis Island the following day.

This year there is a proposal to change the course to start at the Clearwater Sailing Center, sail to the Skyway and return to the Clearwater Sailing Center. The advantages of starting at CSC is the trailers are bit more secure over night and the OA is confident we can have a post race dinner hosted by CSC on Sunday. Not something we can easily do at DI on Sunday.

So for those that are interested in doing this race please weigh in. Are the perks of starting and finishing at CSC and sailing the gulf instead of the bay a more attractive option? I think CSC to Skyway is a little shorter than DI to Skyway.

The OA has a lead on a sponsor so this will be an event that should be worth your time. It was still a lot of fun last year and we did it without sponsorship so...
