looking for any info on regattas or just get togethers for hobbie sailors in tampa bay or state of florida. i am located in the clearwater fl. area

Just go to our main page http://www.catsailor.com and click on "Events" in the masthead. Then click on Southeast and you will find almost every regatta in Florida scheduled there. Also, for anywhere in the country.
If you are a subscriber to the magazine the schedule is listed in each issue in a hard copy to carry with you.
Good luck,
Rick
