Something in the name of the race should tell you that the first day of racing is not for your average cat sailor.
"Macho Man Regatta"
You are on your own!
A straight line course of 60 miles of Fun or Hell.
From Davis Island Yacht Club down the bay under the Skyway Bridge out into the Gulf of Mexico then north up the Suncoast past Clearwater through Hurricane Pass to the finish at Sail Honeymoon on the Dunedin Causeway.
It even starts early in the morning so you may finish before dark.
The second day is your more sane triangle race out in the Gulf. This is for us semi-Macho Sailors.
Pick a day or do both. Give us a heads up on your intensions at dartfast@ prodigy.net
Thanks, Terry
