2013 F16 North American Championships

With the 2012 championships in the books, now is the time to mark your calendars for the 2013 event that is sure to be another great one. The Catamaran Racing Association of Wisconsin will play host for our first ever 4-day championship from August 2-5. Prior to the event, Robbie Daniel of Red Gear Racing will be offering a clinic on July 31 - Aug. 1. More information will be forthcoming in the months ahead from co-chairs, Chris Blake (toothdigger@gmail.com) and Gary Chu (drgarychu2004@yahoo.com). Feel free to contact them with questions.

Are the F16 Worlds slated for July 20 - 27 in Travemuende?

F16 Worlds Announcement

Read the same announcement on the international site, so I assume that is still the case. Plenty of time to get to Racine!

I'm not sure I'm going to make it to this one. It'll feel a little strange only driving five hours. Maybe I'll detour through Montana or something to get there.

Jackson Lake pre-regatta? I'm in.

Jackson lake...

or Lake Jackson??

You are always welcome to come to my house and practice! It's blowoing 15 out there right now, I might take the Hobie 14 out once I get the bird in the oven.

Have a good T day!

You too Tim.

There is a Jackson Lake Montana but I meant Flathead Lake Montana. I'll check my meds...

Come on slackers, time to get signed up! Thirteen boats registered two months out? Pathetic. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

Im pretty sure ill be there but dont know officially yet so cant register.

Sweet! I tried talking Brett into coming, but you should work on the punk and drag him over, same with Greg, I haven't talked to him since Long Beach.

I'm looking to crew if anyone needs someone. Should be around 165 lbs, fit.

Today is the day guys & girls. Last day to get your name on your back. PAY now or forever be just another Holstein.

Interested if we can charter a boat for a reasonable fee.

Also, link to the registration? Google brings me to this thread, and the U.S F16 website appears down.

Finally found it here: http://c4regatta.org/

Get in touch with Jill at red gear racing. Pretty sure she has vipers available

I contacted her last year about this. No offense to Jill she can charge what she wants but it basically is the same cost as a World's charter. I.e I'd bring the F18 instead.

Charters are expensive no matter what. Might want to check with Eric Witte as well.

Sam,

Jack at Nacra has a couple charters- shoot me an email and I can discuss.

-Jeff

PM sent Jeff unlikely to make it, work conflicts. Since Nacra isn't paying the bills around here...

There may be a viper available locally for charter. I'll let you know when I know more.

Falcon USA 1231 Available
Located in Orlando, FL

The local Viper is available for charter. If you are interested PM me and I will send you his contact info.

The boat was one of my demo boats and is really low time. I believe it is a 2011 model. I don't think it has even a full season on it. I sold it with a new spinnaker, and it probably doesn't have three weekend regatta's on it.

Still interested in crewing, or splitting a charter with someone. Anyone know someone looking?

Anyone have a final report?

Karl, were you sailing Uni?

And what was the wind like? Light, medium or blowing?

I'm more interested in what he had to promise a brand new bride in order to get a kitchen pass. I'm guessing he'll be doing dishes for couple months at least.

If it were only that easy...

http://c4regatta.org/reports

I'm driving home yet. Wind was up and down, and I was uni. Got 9th overall, today was just too damn windy and I slid back a spot.

Respect for going uni!

I wasn't completely solo. Squidpig kept me focused.

Squid pin is my hero. I think I was squid pig in another life.

Nice Job Karl, where should us Uni guys send the bottle of Rum? I'll hand it to you at Tradewinds if you come down for that.

Was there a decision on the '14 championship?

The US will be hosting Worlds next year somewhere on the East Coast. So sorta....
