Hi all. The Round the Island race in Fort Walton Beach, FL is still on. Dates are June 25-27. Racing on June 26th. info can be found at www.fwyc.org .

The race will be a steeple chase in the bay this year due to the Gulf Spill. Some different courses are being played around with right now using government marks. The bridges are high enough to accomodate the current mast height on the NOR. It might very well be like The Great Bay Race from years past and possibly longer. Chances are it will not end up being a 24hour race for the smaller cats.

Again current NOR is at www.fwyc.org
