Come on down and shake off those winter blues. The Notice of Race has just been posted here and Rick has kindly added it to the schedule. Be sure and put it on your schedule.

3 days of racing on some of Florida' finest sailing water.

Come on down now, Ya hear!

CHR 2010 should be awesome, and a reminder that this is a One Design regatta with the following classes: Flying Scot, Sunfish, S2 7.9, Weta-Trimanran, Melges 24 and I think Viper 640 along with the Hobie 16. These are the one design classes invited thus far to the regatta, if you need information or help, contact the South Florida Hobie Division or Brian Gleason

Planning to race in the Charlotte Harbor Regatta, Feb. 5-7, 2010? If you register before Dec. 31, 2009, you'll be eligible for a drawing for a three-night hotel stay. Join the strong Hobie 16 class expected to participate in this event on a SAIL magazine "top 10 greatest places to sail in the United States" harbor. Touted by organizers as the "fun, affordable regatta," it doesn't get more affordable than free.

Bump!
Great weather and great competition, so get down here!

The scratch sheet is up to 12 now and there's plenty of time to get on board, including same-day registration on Friday morning. Check out the Web site at www.charlotteharborregatta.com. Remember, dinner is included every night, including a reception Thursday night, so regattas don't get any more affordable. Can we get 15-18 Hobie 16s on the line?
