Thanks to the Corps of Engineers our lake is back slightly above where it was for last year's Spring Fever Regatta. Our preregistrations are not however.

Due to a number of requests, we intend to have a strictly novice class this year for those who have raced very little or none at all. Let's spread the word and get some first timers on the race course and to Spring Fever. Hank and Nigel have it worked out so that it will not impact the other classes so let's get behind them and see if we can't make this an annual event to further the interest in catamaran racing.

Now Guys and Gals, we know a lot more of you are planning on being here but we really need to have you preregister so that we can get the shirts, food, and a dozen other items on order. There’s only so much a busy builder and an old man can accomplish in a given period of time and we need as much lead time as possible to put on the type of regatta you’ have come to expect from us each year.

So please, help us out. Go to the “Who else is coming” page on the website and if you see any names that you know would really be missing this great event, call them and get them to sign up. It’s hard for me to believe that anyone who attended last year won’t be back for Nigel’s party night with last year’s band returning for a repeat performance. Of course, the Honey Baked Ham folks are again going to be providing the outstanding dinner and lunches. Also, Doc'’s Food & Spirits, the Tommy Bahama Rum folks, are also on board again for this year.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Joanna, do you have a link with directions to the campsite and race location? The reason I ask, there are some guys I work with up in Atlanta who claim they know how to sail cats, but don't know anything about racing. If you have a link with a map I would be happy to put it on the Delta Pilot web site and see if some of them would like to join in, now with the Newbie class, they might not be so intimidated.

Thanks. Tim.

Joanna,

I just pre-registered. I'll be uni again...see you and Oley then.

Timbo, the race site is at the end of Milltown Road. If you zoom in a little closer you can see the parking area and narrow ramp to the water.

Thanks Terry. I will post it to the Atlanta Pilot's site, maybe a few will show up.

Glad to see you back. I look forward to catching up in April at GYC.

Looking forward to seeing you again Terry!


We need all the F16's to come that can.

I'm trying to work it out so I can sail the F16 at SF. The problem is getting it to GYC the following weekend. Currently, it has a ride from Pensacola to GYC. If I don't work it out, I will be on the Infusion at SF.

I'm currently planning on being at both events. I could double stack it to GYC from SF.

Bump--
Currently 4 F16's registered-need a few more-Makes a great 3 day race and long weekend with lots of great people.
