Post Worlds & Midwinter's Florida A cat sailing

Feb 8,9,10

Notice to all A cat sailors.

To coincide with the upcoming worlds and midwinter's, all A cat sailors are invited to join in for a long weekend of good racing and fun times at the beautiful Ft Desoto state park. 15min from St Petersburg, 30 min from Tampa Florida. The generous southern 505 fleet 15 have invited us to join in on to their already successful 505 midwinter championships.This can be the best time for sailing in Florida and Ft Desoto park is a beautiful place to sail! I know that there are a few Northerners, Texans and others that would like to get more use out of their toys so keep the this in mind before arranging to ship your boats straight home from the Worlds or Midwinter's.

To further ease the A cat bug we are offering for those keen enough, a chance to bridge these two or three FL regattas by considering joining us on the weekend of 15th and 16th of Dec for our regular Gulfport Yacht Club A cat sailing. Please also keep in mind the Gulfport Yacht Club A cat and F16 invitational in March.

I know for allot of people time seems to be the limiting factor when planning sailing opportunities, with this in mind our thoughts were to provide competitive weekend/ long-weekend regattas to minimize time away from Family and work. With this said St Petersburg and Ft Desoto park is also a great venue for families. For people interested we can arrange storage at GYC between events. We have a great local fleet now of 10 A cats and a couple of extras within an early morning drive away so a min of 10 - 12 without travelers. Flights in and out of Tampa are very well priced and we have a core group of local A caters that I am sure would be happy to pick up drop off and possibly house people over these weekends.

If you are interested please respond and email me a quick expression of interest: bmoon AT ronstan.us. Please also feel free to fill in an entrance form on the NOTICE OF RACE and send it in to Ethan Bixby at North Sails (postal address is on the entry form)

I will follow this email with further information on accommodation and further logistics in the coming days.

Looking forward to seeing allot of you in Islamorada in a few weeks time.
