Posts: 5,525 | We are officially invited and need a committment of at least six boats ASAP!
Dates are Feb. 3-6.
Charlotte harbor is about 1 1/2 hours south of Gulfport, 30 mintues north of Cape Coral/Ft. Myers. It is great sailing and fishing water and has lots of golf courses close by. Also lots of cheap, and not so cheap motels and camping.

Posts: 5,525 | Tim this seems to be coming together as a first rate event. I'm not part of the OA, but you can see they are doing a first rate job. The last estimate I received indicated 50-60 cats of all classes. http://www.charlotteharborregatta.com/wordpress/I'm not exactly sure where we will launch from. As soon as I find out I'll let you know. You gotta make room for this one and Buzzelli next year.

There is a large parking lot, and half of it was reserved and blocked off for us last year. Seems like a safe area (no incidents last year), and I think that Jack is correct in saying that there likely was someone there keeping an eye on things overnight.

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Thanks for the info, I will put it on my list of things to do! My son wants to race the old beater Prindle with one of his buddies, will there be any "open Portsmouth" type class for that?
