In 2006, Fleet 111 is considering partnering with the Rudder Club to host our Regatta on the St. Johns River. I know for most of us, sailing in the ocean may be preferred to sailing in the River, however, the expenses and logistics of the St. Augustine location are making it increasingly difficult for Fleet 111 to support the regatta.

We would also like to move the date of the Regatta to later in the year when there is more wind on the river and the summer hurricanes have hopefully slowed down. We are looking at sometime in October, and may also consider Labor Day weekend.

We would like to have some feedback for this venue time/place change so we can move forward with the planning and - - Thanks for supporting Fleet 111 and attending
our Regattas in previous years.
