Melges?
sa worlds So we received this e-mail from an old friend (and we do mean old) about the SA International Sportboat Anarchy Festival regatta and it of course brings up a great point:
And of course the answer is yes! In fact, how cool to have a fleet of the new schoolers and the old schoolers? Then later we can throw down at the bar and see who can really hang, and who can't! So let's see if we can't get some of the classic sporties to the ISAF - it would add a great element to the event and really make this thing rock! Coronado Yacht Club says they can handle 100 boats, so get on it! Update - we have the first Moore 24 and Sanat Cruz 27 entered...!
Nick's talk will be either Friday or Saturday night, Sept 24 or 25. We will get you those details asap as well as a bunch of other things that we are working on like the classes, format, hotel deals, sponsors, prizes, entertainment, and more! In the meantime, get signed up for the event now, so that we can start to get some momentum going! E-mail any thoughts comments or questions to us as we want to make the regatta rock!... 4/08/10
here we go - again!
That's right! The SA Worlds are back for 2010 and promise to be bigger and better than last year. Why? We've expanded the regatta from two to three days of fleet racing, we are adding new classes - like the Moths (more on that below), we have added a charity race for Thursday afternoon before the event starts, and we have some great sponsorship news as well. For those of you who don't know, we started a sportboat regatta last year in conjunction with Coronado Yacht Club that attracted over 60 boats in five classes, saw some great racing and just as importantly, (maybe more), had great camaraderie with a bunch of anarchists. They idea was and is to gather as many sportboats together, and let 'em all race against each other. We also had OD classes race both as a class, and within the larger sportboat fleets. It really worked well - the overall winner was the Melges 30 Nemesis (with Anarchy second and top FT 10). This year we are looking to have 100 boats - CYC says bring 'em on! - they have the room and the facilities, SA has the juice now all we need is you! Enter your sporty, no matter the size, and we'll sort out the classes, class breaks and everything else as we get it together. We had a great Viper 640 class, Open 5.7 class, FT 10M class, Ultimate 20 class and a 505 class. What we didn't have that we'd love to have this time are Melges 20s, 24s, 32s, Mini's, Farr 30's, more Columbia 30's, Antrim 27's, Shaw 6.5's, etc., etc. The Mothies have said they'd like to come and if any of y'all from around the country, hell around the world, need an excuse to come sail in sweet conditions in San Diego in September, then this is it! Sign up here. If you aren't interested, please pass this on to someone who you think might be!
