Pensacola Beach YC is considering a regatta since Spring Fever was cancelled April 18-20. Pensacola Midwinters didn't happen last week so they have trophies etc. If there is enough interest we can make it happen. May have a 2 or 3 day option like Spring Fever. Please reply if you are interested.

Thanks. I'm planning to come, but concerned that only 2 f18s have registered. It's not just f18s - seems participation is down this year in all classes. What is the deal? Anyway, we're trying to gauge interest in a Pcola regatta on Easter weekend.

Andy, I sent you a PM, then Mark called. They are hoping to add special attention to The Preemie Cup, out of PBYC. That is much better since the profit sharing is devoted to a local hospital's program for premature births. This blend of good will and catamaran sailors may work out very well.

Andy- Are you still planning to sail with us up in Caseville? Its in mid-July and we have 9 F18s signed up already. I know of at least 3 or 4 more that will be there but are just too lazy to sign up until the last minute.

For those that don't know, Caseville is CRAM's premier event/site located on the west side of the Michigan thumb right where Saginaw bay joins Lake Huron. Although not on the scale of San Francisco, the bay is a fairly reliable wind machine.

The venerable MBounds himself will be running the show.

My tip for Caseville: get shitfaced when the wind dies, then when you go back out because the wind picked back up, yell obscenities at Matt from the water. It's fun for everyone.


I'm boatless.

I have sailed at Caseville before and it is a great venue. At this point I am planning to come. Especially since I can't seem to find much racing around here.
