Thanks for putting this all together BK, I hope there will be a big turnout. For those who have never been there, Kelly Park (just west of Cocoa Beach) is a great location, no matter the wind, the waves are not too big for launching/recovery as it's on the intercoastal. Easy to find, just off rt. 528, 40 minutes east of Orlando.

Gina has done a good share of the work as the Regatta Chair, and its been a group effort beyond that with the entire fleet.

Its going to be a fun time!

What's the deal on Friday? Bouy races, distance?

I believe it will be run like SpringFever. Buoy races all days with a scoring system that doesn't (overly) penalize you for not racing on friday.

Just a note that you may still be able to get the special rate if you ask and there are still rooms in the block available.

Would you believe F16 is, currently, the largest fleet registered?

does anyone have a boat to loan, charter or otherwise for this event???

Probably. Worst case, I can take crew. Try to shake up some of the H16 folks, there must be hundreds of them! Where are they all hiding.

Tom,
I might be able to find a H16
Chuck Harnden

I might have a Blade available if I'm not -recovered- by then, but only for you and your wife.

Thirty seven boats registered. Good deal!
