Less than six weeks to the GC, and I'm quite excited because I'm going grin Flights booked last week, and have arranged to drive a Falcon.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Anyone else from this side of the pond planning to make the trip?

Paul

Paul. Be sure they have room on the return plane for the Falcon. I'm pretty sure you'll want to take it home. Ed


Still hazey after all these beers.

Hi Paul,

Need crew or skipper?
Am also interested in coming, but not that interested in single-handed sailing.

Anyway, have a good time over there,

Geert

This regatta should be renamed the FLGC seeing how the majority of the sailors are from FL.
Or the NSGC as in the Not So Global Challenge.

LOL

Robi,

It is your guys web dude. I know of quite a few people who said they have registered, but even though it says the list will be updated every week, it has not changed for almost a month now.

We have at least 3 continents represented and drivers from quite a ways comming from the within the US. If the summer doldrums head out in the next few weeks it looks like it is going to be a great one.

Well, there are 19 on the list already which is a decent fleet in my book.

I don't care where the other sailors come from as long as they show up (along with the wind) grin

Yeah I think that's a real risk.

I know that the airlines can be pretty generous with their "sporting equipment" allowances, but I think a whole F16 might be pushing it...

Not if you just take it apart and put the pieces into golf and ski bags, then just put it in the overhead bins.
