LA | The combined A-Class and 505 Midwinter Championship takes place this coming Friday through Sunday at Fort Desoto State Park south of St. Petersburg. Right now there are 49 boats pre-registered (21 A-Cats and 28 505's). It's pretty cool that two of the more popular classes in dinghy and multihull racing co-host an event like this. The fleet talent is deep in both classes and the racing should be exciting. The weather forecast looks excellent with sunny skies, temps in the 70's, and easterly winds forecast at 6-12 knots for all three days of racing. Check out www.usaca.info to follow the event and results. | | | Re: A-CLASS/505 MIDWINTERS THIS FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

Sebring, Florida. | What video? I couldn't find one!
I used to race 505's, this should be fun to watch. I hope there is enough wind for the 505's to plane but I think the A cats will outrun them easily upwind and down, even without spinnakers.
