So far there are only 4 entries signed up, and 3 months to go.

Who else is planning on racing this event? Is anyone planning on only racing the T500 or OBX500?

It's looking kind of lonely out there. Inquiring minds want to know...

Should be sending in our check next week Mike.

Mike,
Team Windy Hill will do only the Tybee 500 this year.

I plan to drop in for a few days on the OBX 500, but don't plan to race.

Yeah, Tad and I are gonna send in our check sometime in the next few weeks.

Hi Mike,

The soul surfer team sails again under the flag of the "Pirates of the Tybeean"... our new team name, we will be sailing a reworked "soul surfer" I-20.

I'll be sailing with Rob again and am currently looking at the Tybee 500 for sure and possibly the 1000... maybe with a skipper/crew rotation???

I know of at least three other teams than those stated that are 100% go right now.

Pirates of the Tybeean

We are a go for liftoff. I repeat we are a gooo!! Myself and John MacDonald are Coskippering team "St. Louis Cats" www.stlouiscats.com . We are doing the Tybee 500 only. I'm looking forward to chatting with Rob the wildman again. We had some fun sailing a few years ago, 97 I think, in the Steeplechase.

I've got my workout routine going now. I hope I can be a little ready for it.

As Jim Stone said there are a number of teams planning on doing the event who haven't signed up yet. I'll be there with parts as usual.

Rick Bliss

Of course we'll be there. I know there are more teams coming to unseat the champs. Where u at? Looking forward to the competition!! Rick, I hope you're healing up nicely. Rumor has it a certain Aussie superstar is looking for a teammate........

If any teams have questions about sailing the race let me know. I'll talk your ear off about distance racing..well cans too, ha. I saw the checkpoints are up on the A1000 site, so reserve your rooms!! See you in Hollywood, eh
