Someone else pointed out to me that there are a lot of "Worlds" events happening this year in the US - Tiger Worlds and the Nacra F18 worlds. Coupled with the fact that F18 is booming in this area and F18 Nationals in Chesapeak, VA is probably going to be a big attractor too...

I do also hear that there is a high confidence in a healthy turnout for the Tybee 500 in the neighborhood of 14 boats or so. I'll be watchin for sure!
