I would be interested in doing the Tybee 500 next year in my SC20 but I would need to know if my boat is eligible well before the end of the year to look for sponsorship and prepare for it. I just assumed that my boat was ineligible this year until I heard that tornados were eligible.

I have been sailing over 30 years and the last 15 of it have been in the ocean off of Palm Beach. I just started racing and I have done most of the major Florida distance races the last two years. We are starting to come up to speed and I have done around 300 race miles so far this year.

Major note: The sooner I know of boat eligibility, the better my chances of attending. Two months won't cut it.
