IF Kirt is ok with this, we have 3 different possible venues in the St. Pete area in which to hold the race. And an in-county base fleet of 5 boats which will definitely attend. Chuck, is this a good spot for you? How about the other sailors that live farther away? I think we would see twice as many boats with a 2-day race in St. Pete vs. a 5-day event in the Keys.

P.S.

I still like the idea of eventually doing races with the 18HT's. But when we do it, it should be with a larger # of 16footers than I think is likely at this year's nationals, if it's held in the Keys.

Just way more than my $.02
