For the third year, the GYA has invited catamarans to share their wind for this prestigous event which is in the neighborhood of eighty years old. The GYA Opening Regatta will be held at Pensacola Yacht Club April 30 - May 01.

The City Community Center, next door to the yacht club, will be available for launching and recovery; however, no alcohol is allowed on public city property. The bar at PYC is not that bad:-)

The beach rumor is that a shiny, new NACRA Formula 20 C will make its debut on our bay. The NACRA 20 Class, the A Cat Class, the Formula 16 Class, and the Formula 18 Class designs are invited for a US Sailing DPN shootout. They have shown up before.

If you are interested, please chime in so we can ensure proper planning.
