Anyone have dates for round the Island in Ft. Walton / P'town yet?

I read it was traditionally the 4th weekend in June.

**** do the race

GYA calendar said it was June 16 and 17

crap...the FL schedule had it first week'ish in October but now I seem to remember that already happening (and clearly that's the case). It looks like Hiram moved to the end of Oct. which gives me a conflict and I can't do it. I was trying to find a moderate distance race to make a run in.

You confuse, "Round Cat Island, Pass Christian YC, MS", which someone put on the calendar for October TBD with "Round the Island, Ft. Walton", which is on the calendar for June TBD

Jake, I think they moved Hiram's to the first weekend in November

That might help. I dashing to Chicago for a trade show right after A-cat worlds at the end of Oct. I might be able to pull that off if true...though the wifey will NOT be pleased...one week racing in the keys, home just long enough to sleep a few hours, to chicago for four days, home wednesday evening, leave for Hirams on Thursday afternoon...I kinda like it.

That was the original weekend...I believe Scott had a schedule issue and moved it to the weekend of Oct 27 -28 (although a search of his website doesn't confirm that -- no mention of Hiram's 2012.

well, s$it dude... you're not going to have a good turnout if you keep switching dates and not telling people...

no kiddin'.

Not my race ... just relaying what I've heard.

How I miss that cartoon...

Confirmed with Scott.

Oct 27-28

Recent history has them listing the NOR very late in the game, but it will be in June, if they have it. The last few years attendance has been sub-par.

RTI is a fantastic race. It has a little bit of everything. Jake, you've got to do this one once.

I've done it three times already! Finished top 10 with my 6.0NA back in the day when it had 80 boats. Never finished with the sun up either. Them getting the date and details settled early will help with attended too I'm sure.

The 2013 R the I Race will be a titch refreshing in that the designer and planner is anticipating a large herd of Hobie 16s and a few sport boats.

For now - the plan is to launch the different divisions from different places at different times. We are hoping to hit the legit numbers again.

Jake,

This coming weekend we will be doing a 38 nm race out of Pensacola Bay, and next weekend PBYC will be hosting the GYA Multihull Championships (Open to all).

In Cali this week...no can do.

If you want to hit the legit numbers again, have the race in September like it was back in the day. I'm betting lots of us would come down and rent a boat to do it if it was in September...........
