Racing Opportunity Sat. March 15

I race on a Flying Tiger 10 and we need crew for the South Beach Midwinters on Sat. March 15. Race starts at 12:30 so we need to meet at the dock no later than 10:45. Here's a pic of a Flying Tiger in action! FUN Sportboat.

This is a great opportunity to get out on one of the latest generations of sportboats in a relaxing environment, it's just a club race.

May get damp with some rain in the forecast, bring your foulies.

Email me if you can make it. No racing experience is necessary.

Big Daddy Regatta This Weekend - Richmond Yacht Club

March 8 & 9. This is the first of the 'fun' regattas of the 2008 sailing season. Don't get me wrong, still very competitive.

Currently 85 boats registered. Should be fun. Race is both Sat and Sun but some boats only race one day.

I'm sailing on 'Savage Beauty' one of the new Flying Tiger 10's from China. This will be the first race in any real wind. We shall see just how many butts it takes to keep her flat. http://www.ft10class.org

The next 'fun' regatta on the horizon is the Vallejo race, May 3 and 4. Probably over 400 boats in that one. It's a HUGE Party!
