Mike Hill and his team are putting together a Championship Regatta with all the fun stuff and at a great venue! It sure looks like it will be a terrific F18 Championship and the attending list leads me to speculate who will be out front at the end of next week:

1) Misha Heemskerk and Carrie "Rock Star" Howe on the Yamaha sponsored Nacra Infusion. Misha spent all season in the very competitive European F18 circuit and has picked up a crew that won four world championships in 3 months last year.
2) Robbie Daniel and Hunter Stunzi on a Capricorn. Robbie and Hunter are last years Alter Cup Champions.

3) Ollie and Kelly Jason on a Capricorn. Ollie and Kelly have trained relentlessly this year and last, and were second to Greg and Jacque in last year's NAF18 Championships. I pick them over some others because of the teamwork required to do well in the F18 Fleet.
4) John Casey and Kenny Pierce on a Nacra Infusion. Team Tybee are multiple winners of the Tybee 500 and have been winning regattas this year. The F18 isn't their regular ride, but I think they will perform well.

Excluded from my picks are Greg Goodall and Nigel Pitt because neither has listed a crew. I don't think you can win without good teamwork, so they didn't make my top picks.

Who are you picking?
