Feel free to rant, rave, post incrimination pix from previous years... after all, it's been going on the the last 38 years... don't miss year 39, coming right up.

***************
ENTRY and ELIGIBILITY - Open to multihull catamarans from 16-22 feet AND monohull boats up to 24 feet considered to be "Sportboats" (such as the Melges) with a US Portsmouth rating.

FORMAT - Two races on Saturday. Race One is from the waters in front of the Ocean Springs Yacht Club (OSYC), out to Ship Island. After lunch and relaxation on the island, race two goes back to where we started off at the OSYC. A third race will be held on Sunday, typically around Deer Island. Detailed routes will be presented in the forthcoming sailing instructions.

Two classes, spinnaker and non-spinnaker.

HOT NOTE! Ocean Springs Yacht Club is doing it up big again this year! Combined with the regatta on Saturday will be a club-wide potluck dinner, open to all sailors. A live band, cash bar poolside, and oh yes, Memorial Day weekend is the official opening of the swimming pool for summer. You don't want to miss this! The Sailing Squadron, the club, and the wonderful ladies (and men) on the social committee are dedicated to making this a weekend to remember! Don't miss it! Last year we had 46 boats, and we're hoping to break 50. We're keeping the price the same as last year... but the venue is kicked WAY UP, so INVITE YOUR FRIENDS!

NERVOUS? - We'll have chase boats, monitoring VHF channel 68 and lots of folks ready to lend assistance. If you've never sailed to the island, (about 10 miles south) but are an otherwise competent skipper, this is your chance!

TIRED? - Bring your tent or RV, no worries.

STILL NERVOUS? - Some race hard, some cruise easy, but everyone enjoys the party at the island.

Check our facebook banner photo for the gang that went last year...!

FEES - The entry fee for all boats is $60. Entries include breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday, and one (1) regatta t-shirt. Saturday lunch is chicken and beverages on the island. Dinner will be a pulled pork luau combined w/ an OSYC club-wide member contributed potluck. Eat w/the club members downstairs, recount the regatta, hop in the pool, and enjoy some music. Additional shirts will be available for purchase.

SCHEDULE -

Saturday, - approx 10am Skippers meeting, race one starts approx 11am - Race two starting sequence begins TBD by PRO on the island
Sunday, - approx 10am Skippers meeting, starting sequence approx 11am

SAILING INSTRUCTIONS - Details of the course will be available at the skippers meeting and on the notice board at the club.

SCORING - The low point scoring system will be used. No throw outs.

PRIZES - First second and third for spin and non-spin, and other fun awards at the race committee's discretion. Possible 3d class for portsmouth over 72, 72 and under and open spin.

Beautiful weather along the Mississippi gulf coast with temps in mid-80's and east/southeast breezes 8-15 carried the fleet of 36 multi-hulls out quickly to Ship Island. Awesome Luau put on by YC members Sat night, and great conditions Sunday for jot around Deer Island. Congrats to Kevin Rejda and his RC crew on a successful event. Sure results and pics will be up soon - www.osyc.com. Looking forward to a run to Horn Island July 6-7.
