It's time to head to the Ocean Springs Yacht Club, MS. 13 miles out to Ship Island, a big party on the island, 13 miles back to the club, a big party at the club, then the next day its 24 miles around Deer Island. At stake is the record around Deer Island held by Dooley on a Prindle 19!!! Beat the record and get your name on the trophy in the club. This event draws over 45 boats so don't miss out and lets make this a 70 boat event. Sign up online at :

This race is a great way to spend the Memorial Day Weekend. Come out and enjoy home made Jumbalaya made by Robbie Halstead and catch up with all your friends and make some new ones. Bring the family and they can catch a ride to the island to enjoy the weekend too. See you on the Gulf!!

Correction: Apparently the Round Deer Island record by Joe Doolie was accomplished on a 30 yr old Prindle 18 with a Smyth MX rig on it! The Dragon Slayer! Who wants the record? If you're looking for a kitchen pass this is definitely a family friendly event. Come on down.

We will have 4-6 classes this year:

2. Open A
3. Open B
4. Nacra 20
5. TBD
6. TBD
If you get 5 class boats you'll get your own class. so register early to reserve your class.

Looks like we need one more F18 to make their own class. The F16 have fallen behind and need 3 now. 3 days to avoid the bump in cost

I have it on high order that the shirts are going to be high performance and awesome!

Damn straight! The shirts are awesome the prizes are sweet the jambalaya is spicy and good times are plenty!
Last year we were crushed by the oil spill. The turnout was low as to be expected but the diehard fans of this race showed. We are looking for a record showing this year. Here is a video taken from a N6.0. enjoy.
