Got 24 boats so far!! Don't forget to pre-register..... http://home.carolina.rr.com/catfest/
If you are too far away from Juana's check out CatFest. We would love to have a fleet of F16's (there are 2 so far)..it is a great location and a great time.

Maybe next year. I pegged to attend Juana's.

I think TikiPete, DoubleT, tshan are also attending Juana's.

Yup.

You guys headed to juanas should have a blast. I am happy that people are going to make the drive.. you won't regret it! I am soooooo friggin jealous.
Robi- you in? If so, PM me

Joanna - sorry for the highjack....

I'll be at Juana's for sure. I'll be on the beach by 9am on Friday (9/7/2007). Looks like I'll be 1-up.

Note: No registration after Friday at 9 pm.

I don't blame you guys...we would be at Juana's too if it was on a different weekend. I'm hoping that Ed and some of the MD guys can come to CatFest. You all have a GREAT time on the Gulf and we will have a GREAT time on Lake Norman. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Joanna, I'm sending in my registration this week. None of the other Marylanders (slackers)are coming to Lake Norman. Ed

Ed-Good to hear you are coming for sure. Those guys don't know what they are missing. We only need two more for a fleet. See you then

Ya'll left yet? I'm heading down on Friday morning and should be there around 2 -3 in the afternoon. I hope I can put this thing together faster than I took to pack it up. Ed

Good luck to you all and lots of fun !

Yippee.

Winds were up earlier but have been laying down thru the day. Schedule for 10-12 for tomorrow's distance race.

Looks like I'll have to change my screen name to Tbone...

Have I got this right.

This weekend we see 5 F16's racing at Juana's and 3 at Catfest NC ?

Bring home some bacon guys and gals !

I raced in South FL. Got hammered/slaughtered/killed/murdered/chewed/spit out and stepped on.

I srsly sucked at sailing today. Reaching with 5kts of wind is not my strong point. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /><img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

On a good note Four Hobie 20s. Seems like South Florida is getting a nice size fleet of these beautifull boats.

Robi,
What about the others?

They were all in front of me <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Robi,
Do you know how they went relative to the rest of the fleet?

No, not yet. It was four H20s, one Tornado, one P19 and two monster stilletos, I think they were Stilleto 23s. Not sure.

Catfest was very light air. Only got one race in for the weekend. Olie and Joanna took first, an I 20 second, me third and Ed 4th. Was one of those who drifts faster days. the 3 blades went out sat night (2 double and one solo) and it seemed they were very well matched. No overt speed difference up wind, downwind I was having some growing pains with the chute so they got away. Was a fun weekend even without the wind.
