Charlotte Harbor Regatta - Day 2

Thankfully, we woke up to dramatically different weather conditions compared to yesterday! Let's go sailing!

The forecast called for 10 – 12 knots of wind from the North and temps in the mid 60's. Unlike many weather forecasts this one proved to be pretty accurate. We started racing at 10 am and by about 1:30 we had the fourth race complete. Harry and Carrie Carpenter led the way for a very convincing victory. If any of you wants a little of that magic the demo boat they sailed is AVAILABLE, so it could be yours…

The volunteers did a great job organizing this inaugural regatta, the effort and attention to detail was obvious. They are making plans now for next years event and should be selecting a date soon. Check out the event website for all the details.

The new Scot fleet based at the Charlotte Harbor YC is eager to be included on the Florida District Championship schedule. This seems like a logical fit, they are up to 4 boats and are enthusiastic for more. Comments?

The Eustis regatta is only two weeks away and we have 23 pre registered. If you haven’t made plans, now is the time.
