Hi Tim
Thank you for the invitation, it must be a dream to live in Florida during the winter!
I think the Heineken regatta at St. Maarten is mostly sailed with monohulls. My preference would be Aruba in the early November.
The lake of geneva is a little bit less than 3 hours away from zurich airport. We will be having a 18HT race there in May.
Good sailing and winds!
