<br>Racers; and Partygoers,
<br>
<br>It's nearly time for Fleet 11's WILDCAT REGATTA at Lake Eustis, October
<br>13-14. This is our third year for the event at Lake Eustis Sailing Club
<br>(LESC), located in central Florida about 40 miles north of Orlando, within
<br>reasonable driving distance for everyone.
<br>
<br>You will find the club grounds one of the finest venues for an inland
<br>regatta, and the small town friendliness compliments the atmosphere. LESC
<br>has begun preparation for the construction of a new clubhouse, and has
<br>cleared the trees from the area where we typically like to launch. There
<br>will be more of room for setup, launching and camping. Louie Adiano will
<br>be our Principal Race Officer with the committee support of LESC. John Casey
<br>will hold the prestigious title of Deputy Race Officer, and we hope he
<br>doesn't get too excited about it and give up his racing career. Barbecue
<br>dinner will be served as soon after we come off of the water, two dinners
<br>included with your $ 30 registration. Richard Shipes will again be the
<br>cookmaster, reason enough to be seen at this event.
<br>
<br>We will again donate our proceeds to the LESC Youth Sailing fund, our
<br>efforts to support the future of sailing and support our wonderful hosts for
<br>the event.
<br>
<br>RV Camping with water and electrical hook-ups is available on site. The
<br>Regatta site is located on County Road 452 between the intersections of
<br>State Road 19 and State Road 44 at the north end of Eustis, approximately
<br>40miles north of Orlando. For help finding the site, clink on the Maptech

<br>This message has been mailed to about two hundred Florida Sailors. If you
<br>wish to reply back to me with a question, email correction or removal from
<br>the Division Eight regatta email list, please do so. I am sure that we might
<br>have missed some of your friends, so please forward this message to anybody
<br>you can think of that might be able to come, or to anybody who might wish
<br>they can come.
