There will be something 50-100 kids running around. It's pretty cool and the Saturday night dinner is always very good. http://www.clearwatercommunitysailing.org/Index.shtml

Posts: 3,906 Clermont, FL, USA | If this post is supposed to attract people to a regatta.. it is very unclear what its about.. I see no other posts about it, neither in open forums nor the NOR forums.
as a non racer.. i have no clue what area i am in, what this event is, who its for... etc Andrew, there has been a forum thread: http://www.catsailor.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=194933&page=1There is an NOR in the NOR forum: http://www.catsailor.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=181852#Post181852And I've sent SPAM to every sailor I have an email for. Now the week before the event I get the impression that this event has caught everyone by surprise. Guys, I'm completely at a loss here. If I provide the information too early you either ignore it or forget it. If I provide it too late you know what you say. Also if you have questions about the event my contact information is on the USSailing website and I'm happy to talk to anyone at length about a championship that I consider one of the finest in the nation, yes that is only my opinion and I'm not looking for a sh!t fight. Also, it may be time for change in the Area Rep slot. I'll admit this task does take it out of you a little bit and my enthusiasm without a doubt is beginning to fade. Regards, David Ingram USSailing Championship for the Hobie Alter Cup Area D Rep .

Posts: 5,525 | David: You've done a great job and at some point I think you just have to stop worrying. Those of us that race will be there. The others. . .
I'd rather sail with three people who care about Alter Cup than 100 who don't. And frankly, I'd probably go to an exclusive, racers only website; citing your frustrations.
Area D south (and the Cup) are the highlight of my sports year. As long as it's held and I have a pulse I'll be there.
See you on the beach Friday?

They've been in the freezer for years, so I doubt they'd hurt much even with your boots! But the Wave hijack does have me thinking... Two toddlers and dad should be able to handle that, right?
