Atlanta, GA | Since this would be my first regatta I was wondering about class rules and such at the Outback. Your guidance would be appreciated. My Hobie is an 84 with mostly stock gear. I don't have a comptip. Is this a problem?
Are there other Hobie 16's going to be there?
Also it seems that I have read about a minimum weight for crew (285?), is that something that I need worry about? It might be that I would be single handing, and while I'm heavy I'm not that heavy.
If my son were to crew for me he is only 12 years old. Is his age a problem?
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input. No problem, no problem, and no problem. And that is a BIG reason we sail w/ the cats instead of cleaning up the keelboat. We are welcome w/ a homemade boat so you have absolutely no worries.

South Carolina | $70 - Two dinners on two night, racing, shirts, hats and prizes, that is a bargin. Good work! I wonder how you are covering the costs? Donations and volunteers? About 100 boats. Economy of scale.

Thanks for your input. No problem, no problem, and no problem. You'll find some single handers and kid crews. I had my 8 year old daughter crew with me on my H16 at the Hatteras Regatta last month. It was great to get her on the boat. There will be plenty of folks around to help you with rigging, advice, etc. The sailing club also has plenty of room for camping. Glad you can make it. | | | Re: Oct 4,5 - Outback Cup, Columbia SC - Whose in?

Atlanta, GA | What is the gas situation in Columbia SC?
It's getting very difficult to find a station in Atlanta with gas.

Columbia South Carolina, USA | It just donged on me, when have we ever had that discussion before on this site?
I know Charlotte(about 90miles away)is having shortages and long lines.

South Carolina | Well...I guess this shows anyone that wanted to attack and heavily impact the US where to start. Are we that dependent on one centralized location for fuel? This is silly.

Alachua, FL | I have been in Danville, VA this week and gas is plentiful at $3.59. The shortage seems to be a central NC situation.
It really doesn't make sense.

We're running dry down here in Northern Georgia too. Drove from to Charlotte and back Saturday/Sunday, and SC for the most part has gas, although they are rationing it. I'm pretty sure NC and GA are "boutique fuels" that have to meet some government-imposed standard. | | | Re: Oct 4,5 - Outback Cup, Columbia SC - Whose in?

South Carolina | I'm stuck at a crossroads...I really don't want to and can't afford to wait an hour at the 1 out of 10 gas stations that have fuel. I refused to get in line with the manics and run out and fill up everything they own (and thought that the prices might come back down)...but the truck is on E, the Jetta at a 1/4 tank, the scooter at about 1/8, and my lawnmower empty. The RV has about 1/3 of a tank but I'm not real keen on driving that to work!

Atlanta, GA | My wife saw a station in Atlanta today where people were lined up in the hope that they would get gas in. They didn't even have gas and people were lining up!
If it doesn't get better I don't think that I can make the trip to Columbia and come home to no gas.
