It is the Tradewinds Midwinter Open Cat National Championships. You HAVE to attend. It is the biggest regatta in the USA for catamarans of all kinds. If you are NOT a Wave sailor, for some strange reason, there will still be a class for you. Not to mention there is a beautiful trophy (the Carlton Tucker Memorial ) awarded to the winner of the largest class. For two years the Hobie 16 Class has just edged out the Waves for that honor. Great comeback for H16s in Florida. Good going. Expected Classes: F16 Class Midwinter Nationals F18 Class Midwinter Nationals Harken Buoy Series (first of series and awards for last year) Wave National Series Regatta Hobie 16 Nacra 20 Open Class Lo Open Class Hi Please PreRegister so we can assure T-shirts for every sailor, skipper and crew. To do so, go here: http://www.catsailor.com/registration/This time of the year you can usually find pretty good rates as there is a small window of OFF SEASON after the New Year. I have heard that there are good rates at Holiday Isle. Rick | | | Re: Tradewinds Update

Posts: 5,558 Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | If you haven't yet preregistered for Tradewinds (Jan. 17-18 in Islamorada, FL), please do. I am going to order T-shirts this week, and I need a better head count.
Get after the people in your own class. Right now it looks like a tight race for who is going to win the Carlton Tucker Memorial Trophy, which goes to the winner of the biggest class at the regatta. Most of the people who come to the regatta probably do not visit this forum, so it is up to you guys to rally the troops within your own classes.
We tried to get a T-shirt size category included in our pre-registration form, but Chad has not had time to do it yet. So I will just try to guess again, as usual. | | | Re: Tradewinds Update

Next year we will do the 3-day regatta as does Spring Fever. Temps will be cool, but not cold, with high in the low 70s on Saturday, and upper 70s on Sunday.
Pretty good considering the Global Warming pattern in Minneapolis, where actual temps are -20 and that is NOT wind chill factor. Rick | | | Re: Tradewinds Update
