Hi All,
The Waves have been invited to the Charlotte Harbor Regatta Feb. 5-7, 2010 event on
Charlotte Harbor, Florida. This is a big MIXED regatta where you will see all sorts of boats -- H16s, Wetas, Sunfish, Lasers, and bigger boats, all sailed on three different courses.
They say there are parties every day and could be a lot of fun.
Charlotte Harbor was recognized by SAIL magazine as one of the Top 10
greatest places to sail in the United States. We have played host to
numerous Soling Olympic trials and one-design regattas, including the
International Sunfish Midwinters. We will have ten classes on three
circles and nightly "regatta parties" at world-famous Fishermen's
Village Resort & Marina. Low entry fees and affordable hotel
accommodations make the Charlotte Harbor Regatta, the fun, affordable
regatta.
For information, go to www.charlotteharborregatta.com or call Brian Gleason at
941-206-1133. He says he is looking forward to hearing from you and seeing a fleet of
Waves on Charlotte Harbor next month.
There are hotels in the area that are less money than the host hotel and camping -- they are listed on their website. One RV is allowed to stay at the launching site as a guard. Others must go to Peace River Campground
www.peacerivercampground.com, or Riverside RV Resort www.riversidervresort.com
Stan Woodruff has sailed in this with a Sunfish and says the beach is awesome for launching.
If you are going to make it to this regatta, please email me. I don't want to show up and be the only one there,
thanks
Rick

I have pre-registered but they don't have a WAVE space on the entry form. I checked Hobie 16 and put HOBIE WAVE in boat name space.

I hope they will be able to figure that out.

I told them about the problem.
Stan, Sharon and I plan to attend as well. Scarpelli live right down the road from there, so he should be good for it as well.

I'll be in Sanibel over the weekend--and my father in law has his wave there... But I don't think I can devote much time other than one afternoon. Is it still worth making the trip off island?

The Wave page is now up.

The PRO for course 2 (for H16, Weta and Waves) will be giving the Waves their normal course -- triangle, Windward, Leeward and will be using our Wave Rules.

Looks like a great venue and the organizers are doing a great job. I could see this becoming a very well attended annual event for multiple classes. I will be there with the Weta's and am really looking forward to it. I may have an extra guy with me who would charter a Wave if one was available.
