Even though I race the F18 mostly, I'm doing a few races with my 10 year old daughter on a H16 (newer the beach beater) We're doing the Mayor's Cup in Greensboro... June 3-4 Then going to OBX- Duck NC with the F18 for the Duck Cup on June 10-11. I've never done it before but I hear it is great sailing in the Currituck Sound... Flat water and great beach breeze. Try to make one of these events.
