Clermont, FL, USA | Spring Fever is April 2-4. My be a lot of traveling for some if you back it up to that weekend. What we are looking at is the beginning of March. And when the rubber hits the road tough guy, it's just you, Alex, Terry, me and the girls representing the sunshine state at Spring Fever. Just to give you a heads up... March, April and May are pretty much booked solid.

Pensacola Midwinters March 20 & 21 (dates unconfirmed)
Hobie Midwinters East March 27 & 28 (dates unconfirmed) Hobie MidWinters East is 99% sure to be March 19-20, Singing River Yacht Club, Pascagoula, MS. Potentially large numbers in these classes: Hobie 20s Hobie 18s (NACs are just 20 miles away 10 weeks after) Hobie 17s (ditto) Hobie 16s We'll probably get a few Waves and 14s due to the proximity of their NACs, too. | | | Re: Potential New Regatta in March (South FL)

Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | I don't want to steel too much of the guys thunder, but what I can tell you is that it is not the Keys. I just wondered how far south. And is it on the Gulf or Atlantic side. If it is on the Gulf side, we could maybe get enough Waves there for a fleet.

Alachua, FL | Lots of 'gators, weeds and bass boats, no beach or facilities. I actually drove along the Eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee today on the way to the Steeplechase and it looks like it would be a great place to sail. Nice wind, miles of flat water, and no viable place to launch or stay.
