Posts: 1,121 Eastern NC, USA | Congrats. It is really not the dark side. I think you'll be very happy with the boat. Oct. 27 and 28 is the Cat Caper at Birmingham Sailing Club. NOR posted at www.birminghamsailingclub.org2 F16s from TN, 1 F16 from AL and 1 F16 from AR are slated to be there, so far (3 Blades and 1 Taipan). There wil also be an assorted mix of other classes. Come one over and play; maybe and hour and half from downtown ATL. Are you sailing out of Lake Lanier Sailing Club? Just curious. I had intended to get over there this summer, but it seems as though the timing was always wrong.

Welcome to the club, Geoff.
I wish you and your friend the best of weather and enjoyment with your new boat !
Indeed, with the growth to the north of Florida it gets more and more likely that a F16 fleet will develop for the Spring Fever regatta's

Always a good time. Some Blades will be there. And also in Gulfport, Fl. right off I75 in Tampa area, there is a growing fleet of F16's racing twice a month.

Joanna,
if you want us to come to Spring Fever (or any other race you need to get some dates posted so that we can start to plan around those dates on our calendar!!).
Right now, my closest race to you that I'm planning on going to is Pensacola in March.

March 15-16 I'll be at the Gulfport St. Pat's regatta. www.Gulfportyachtclub.com I'm going out today in Sebring, come on down, too much wind to stay inside! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
