Thanks, here's the actual event website: http://www.regattanetwork.com/event/6417

The Buzzelli NoR is published at http://www.regattanetwork.com/event/6417#_docs as of today.

Good Sailing,
Bert

unfortunately there is a laser regatta on the same weekend as the buzzelli this year thats im doing. i wish i could do both last year the buzzelli was alot of fun

Buzzelli isn't going to be the same as last year. Containers full of F18's will be arriving at the site and we are using it as our #2 warm up event. Are you doing F18 Nationals?? Why go race a laser when you can sail in THE largest fleet of 20kt boats in North America, that happens to be in your back yard???

Bert,

The F18 registration options appear to have changed/disappeared....

Item 4 in the NoR still reads that F 18s, attending the F 18 America's, would be charged $80.00 for entry. The NoR was polished a bit before publishing. I look forward to meeting you and seeing everyone again. The NA F 18 Class has prospered well since 2008!

We'll just sign up then and pay upon arrival, finalizing travel plans soon. Registered for the America's, we're excited!

So I registered but haven't paid. This means we aren't appearing as a registrant. This is bad in a few ways:

1) More people show up if more people are registered. Since only SSS knows we are intending to come, others might hold off until more people are registered!!

2) We're not done registering, which means more paperwork and more hassle for us when I get to Sarasota. This is on top of unloading our boat from a giant multi-stack trailer, signing in for Nationals, getting our boat weighed and measurement certificate sorted, finding boat parking, getting our boat tuned etc. etc. PLEASE can we fix the online registration so I can pay my $80 and go sailing??? I'd like to have time to sip Mojito's poolside and meet all the wonderful multihull sailors in Florida!

Sam,

I have passed on your concerns to the OA. I'll let you know what I hear.

I just heard word that they have cleared this up. Let me know how it looks.

All fixed. Payed this morning, discount is included so register early

Hello Multihull Sailors,

Less than 5-weeks before the big event.

We have a little over 20 boats registered so far. Depending on final registration, we will likely have 3 race areas on Saturday and Sunday in Sarasota Bay: one for Stiletto/Corsair/PHRF, one for F18/F16/Portsmouth and one for Weta/Windrider.

You can get a discounted fee if you register at http://www.regattanetwork.com/event/6417 before Oct. 6, just a mere 3-weeks away. Registering by Oct. 6 will greatly help us better plan for a great regatta.

Cheers,
Tony Vandenoever
Regatta Chair

Registered, see you in the Weta/Windrider races...
