Well, I was able to figure out what my pointing problem was at that regatta which helped me out a few months later at Island Hop 2005.............

Sometimes you have to lose a few to pick up info.

When will this event be taking place next year?

Were there any FX-one's, and how'd they do?

Advertised to ALWAYS BE the next weekend after Labor Day (Sept 6-7, 2008)

No FX-one's, but they were just a fad anyway! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It is a long way for you, 1300 miles one way. Still, it would be nice to make this a big uni-rig event. Along with all the other stuff.

Yes it is, but if there is a FX-one nationals next year in B.C. that's 2000 miles one way, and I'm kicking around doing that event. You guys have it made down there, lots of beach, and a sailing season that borders on infinitly longer than ours. I'm about ready to pack it up now. Too cold. This past weekend it was 30 degrees the morning of the regatta. If I'm stupid enough to race in that, I'm dumb enough to burn 180 gallons of diesel to get to FL. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Drive the boat down once ... leave it for the winter ... and you can fly down on the weekends to sail <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

There is probably room for you at GYC. I'll look into it if you're interested.

JPOR Sept. 29-30

Area D qualifiers Nov. 3-4

Tradewinds early January.

Good idea! I have a friend who drives his boat down and does that. I wonder if he'd mind stacking my FX on his H17?

Yep, you can fly Minneapolis to Orlando for $99 each way or $116 to Tampa if you plan in advance (on AirTran).

Thanks, Pete, for offering some relevant information in this thread entitled "Juana's". The uninitiated might get a bad impression of the Good Time Regatta with all this talk about upwind/downwind performance....and training??? Holy Cow, what's that???!

Mar-??? How about an Intergalactic Championship at Lake Jackson, Sebring in March? The wind is usually pretty good that time of year (actually all winter it's pretty good, right up until May-Sept)

I'm in!

Lets do it.
