Next years schedule

[Dave Nickerson]

Annapolis NOOD could be a lot of fun.  There will be a bunch of boats driving north from Charleston two weeks earlier.  Do you think you might be able to help find a cheap/safe place to store our boats for 2 weeks?

[Michael Gravitt]

I will have to find a contact in Annapolis.  I have a place in Va. about three hrs south but the Northern guys will not want to drive an extra six hrs to pick up their boats. If this is OK let me know. SBRW is a great regatta but if we can get more boats in Annapolis that is better. If we can get five boats to get a start we can do both.

Update for 2012:
My earlier schedule jumped the gun (as did much of that email).  Here's what we know about 2012 winter east coast now:

Feb. 11-12: Miami event # 1 (name TBD), co-hosted with the J/80s
Mar. 9-12: Miami event # 2 (Bacardi Cup)

There is a *chance* that there will be a third Miami event Mar. 23-25, but that is not set in stone for 2012, but I am told that it is more of a done deal for 2013.  And of course, there is Charleston, as well as a Gulf Coast circuit (including Mardi Gras) for those who want to do that. 

There will be an option for mast up storage at the US Sailing Center in Coconut Grove, details forthcoming.

As for 2012 NAs -- I really shouldn't have said anything, it's not my regatta.  The organizers haven't moved the date yet, and may never move the date.  That was me stirring the pot since there was talk of moving the date to accommodate additional sailors in the class, but it may never happen.  I suspect Dan will make an announcement on the dates soon, and hopefully there will be an NOR and online registration opening up before Jan. 1, 2012 to start rallying the troops. 

Huge thanks to Dan Tucker for spending a lot of man hours making Miami happen.

You still going to be able to squeeze in a trip to NO for MGRW between all that miami sailing Peter?

Sounds like a Two boat program to me....Jeff used to have two?!

[Justin Scott]

If you haven't already got two Vipers........Get with the program.

I think those that are pushing for the 3rd Miami event in March are some that want to do MGRW and then two regattas in Miami.
