Charlie has decided to do it again! The mayor of Surfside beach has agreed to host the event and Sail and Ski will be the sponsoring beachcat store. If any of you have attended the "Ya Gotta Regatta" in the past you can remember the good food and awesome door prizes. This year Charlie says he want to do bouy races one day and lemans start distance races the second day. I would hope to see many rookie sailors as well and there may be clinics/discussions/training as well. I will add details as they are provided.

Can some one get the dates on the EMSA site for me as well?

I would like the whole thing to be lemans start, round a mark, blast down the beach, round a mark and land to finish. That way you use the waves twice and keep it all within site of the tourist/spectators. Screw a bunch of sitting at an imaginary line waiting on a flag sequence a mile offshore. Charlie wants it to be fun for experienced sailors and newbies as well.

What would you guys see as the most fun racing on the coast?

Buoy racing in front of a popular beach with a pier can be very nice for spectators too remember.

Distance racing is fun just because, well, its just fun - but yeah a mix of both would draw more racers probably. I know a lot of buoy guys would opt out if it was distance only. Maybe.

Anyone know where the launch area is?

I'm still waiting to get the details. I don't know much about Surfside Beach but its not nearly as crowded as Myrtle and doesn't have the huge oceanfront condos every 3 feet. I would think there is beach access near one of the piers. Hopefully I can get more info today.

Ok guys, this is what was worked out today.They are wanting us to put on a fun regatta with exposure through out Surfside Beach. We plan on having 3 to 5 bouy races on Sat., then having a distance on Sun. The distance race will be a lemans start from the beach with all boats raceing portsmith numbers, we will be working out the logistics of working the boats through the surf (we got it worked out but will explain later). We will leave the beach --go around a bouy--either go north are south, depending on wind direction,--go from one end of Surfside to the other end and back to start.

The hard part of putting this on--- we can get the boats on the south beach access--17th ave. south-- hopefully leave the trailors on the beach--still being worked on that--parking is the tough situation--this is no r v hookups in surfside-- there are places to the north and south--just a few miles-- parking on the beach front is tight -- we will be parking on the side the road-- we are working on maybe getting permission to park on some empty lots down there--there will be a surfing contest going on at the same time just 2 blocks north of us-- 2blocks north of that will be kayak demontrations-- paddle boarding--kite surfing. this will be a true beach festival

As you can see there will be alot going on-- alot of stuff to work out-- a little bit of time to do it-- but it looks like it will be alot of fun.

Start firing back your questions as quick as you can so I can get the answers

thanks for your time
Ted

Glad to see that Ted is putting this together and that the city is getting behind it. It's been to long since we've had an ocean regatta in the Carolinas. I'll definitely be there.

Things are moving along well with this event. The race will be limited to 20 boats, maybe raised to 25 if possible. If you are definately interested contact Sail and Ski ASAP to reserve your spot. There will be no food this year so entry fees are pretty low, $25 double is what I heard. $25 for a race, 2 t-shirts and a chance at a trophy is a deal! Bouy races on Sat and a distance run on Sun. Gonna be FUN!

What's the info place, time, camping/hotels/rv's, parking/launching. I would be willing if I don't have to pay 200.00 a night for a hotel with a three night min. What happened to the state park with camping/parking .

Surfside is just south of Huntington Beach state park, Or Myrtle Beach State park, cant remember the exact name. Camping is relatively cheap at the State park, and distance is minimal. You could land at the upper end of the State park or use the ramp at Springmaid beach and leave the boats on that beach, with a quick sail south to the race site. Springmaid resort is close(no camping) and very inexpensive.

Dave,

I thought Surfside was north of Hunting Beach park. I need numbers and addresses so I can make plans not just OH it is at surfside beach. Need to make reservations now to get rooms or camp sites.

It looks like Surfside is right between Myrtle Beach Proper and Murrell's Inlet. I agree it would be nice to know the name of a hotel - if enough of us are going we might get a good rate.

Surfside is north of Huntington beach State park(about 10miles), but very near Myrtle beach State Park.

http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/park-finder/state-park/795.aspx

Springmaid would still be the economical and close hotel, Myrtle Beach State park would be the closest camping with Hookups, unless Ocean Lakes has an opening.

Surfside Beach

The postings from ted didnt really descibe the exact regatta area, so not sure how close these 2 places are, but Surfside is not that big of an area, so these 2 places should be within a 5-6 miles of the Launch.
Sorry I dont have all the answers!
