The 2010 F16 National Championship Regatta will be held April 9-11 at Gulfport Yacht Club and will run concurrently with their Spring regatta which is open to all catamarans.

This will be a three day nine race format and will require at least ONE crew member to be an active member of the U.S. F16 class association.

The spring regatta is now called the F16 National Champs? Is there a NOR posted anywhere?

IMO that gives out bad information, should have kept the title used last year and just sub title it the F16 champs.

You're on the F16 forum, amigo. The information here is for F16 sailors.

I'm not sure what the title is but it seems everyone is welcome. The F16 Championships will run concurrently.

Where are you? Haiti? We missed you last night, lots of good food.

No NOR yet, I'll try to get it posted by the end of the week.

I'll be there.

Is the F16 3 days, and the regular regatta 2 days?

I meant to give someone money for my class membership, but forgot. Who do I send money too, or will I be able to do that down there?

I'm not really sure. I'd imagine all boats will have three days. I pointed out to the board that a number of regattas are three days and that the format is very popular.

I'll get you the website for membership.

Oh my bad. Sorry im not a F16 sailor anymore. Thanks for the warm and fuzzy.

Specially coming from you.

I am referring to the title of the regatta and its a concern seeing how im a pretty active sailor at that club. So it was just a question, but seeing how im not a F16 sailor or class member I cant ask questions here.

Of course you can ask questions. The point is, this is where F16 sailors would come looking for information. The F16 Nationals only became part of the regatta last evening. Nothing has changed for A class, F18 and portsmouth. Unless you guys want to sail on Friday.

Robi, what does the GYC call that regatta? It used to be called the F16/A cat thingydoo, or some-such. We are certainly not trying to take over the world, just looking for a good place to hold a Nationals, and GYC is a great club with all the support staff and experience to do that.

So what would you have us call the regatta so we don't offend anyone?

Please note on the registration page there are some fields for the race fee and meals that are not updated correctly yet.

The NOR will be posted shortly and we will change the registration page appropriately then.

Carry on

Would the Nationals have the option of averaging one day like the Spring Fever format?

Reading the initial post I was under the impression that the regatta was strictly an F16 regatta now.

No. At least not for the F16s. Other classes, I don't know.

Robi,

Did you stop taking your meds? The opening post says very distictly that it is run in conjuction with the GYC Spring regatta, which is open to all cats.

Move on - Let's start talking about combining all the starts, at least we want Ding on ours. grin

No combined starts, not for Nationals. We're trying to increase the degree of rigor within the class.

Captain Bohan will be very happy to explain the rationale. wink
