OSYC is located on Lake Sinclair in Milledgeville GA about 90 miles from Atlanta (via I-20 east and US441 south). A map and directions can be found at http://osyc.net/SPIP/article.php3?id_article=8 Registration and exact schedule will be posted later, but go ahead and save the date, and reply to this thread if you plan on attending, or have questions or suggestions.

Barring the dow going to 6000 or usa82 being sold I will be there.
Liberty will be there.
Doug
Jay,
Boat #91 will be @ Lake Sinclair. I'm really looking forward to the event.
Jay,
Just got off the phone with David G. from Savannah. He will be at Sinclair, as well.
St Pete Multiclass pulled from the racing calendar in favor of the very popular Sinclair event in January and possibility of Coral Reef Cup in March.
Have fun. I'm jealous.
What abou the other guys from Savannah?
Bucee's Revenge is planning on being there as well.
I think we need to rally the troops and get at least 10 to 15 boats.
I know the big concern has been we don't know what the weather will be. Sailing in January in south Georgia. What could be better.....Other than sailing in south Florida.....
I forgot. Has anybody heard from the lone stranger in P'Cola. Wouldn't be a long drive for him either. RZ time to line up with the other Vipers....
Time to come out of the Shadows....
David from Savannah has said he's coming. JP has a conflict that weekend, and I haven't spoken with Eric. Weather is a huge concern - we typically have some fantastic sailing days in January, but we also have some 40-degrees-and-rain days. The odds are about 50-50 for any given weekend. I suggest that we watch the forecast carefully the week prior.

hull #40 will be there
Gary here. I spoke with J. Meyers boat #100. He is in for Sinclair.
Here's the current weather forecast for Lake Sinclair this weekend.... 57 degrees, partly cloudy, 30% chance of rain.

The wind forecast is a bit early to tell, but right now they are saying mid-teens from the NW, which is about perfect for Lake Sinclair racing.

Be there!

The final results for the 2009 Lake Sinclair Viper Invitational, and the first regatta of the 2009 Southeastern Series, have been posted at http://osyc.net/racing/2009results/2009-01-11-Viper-Invitational.htm
We also had no fewer than four photographers on the water, so when the photos come rolling in I will get them posted as well.
I put all of the pictures Jay's dad took with my camera on shutterfly. They are low resolution,
but I have the originals at 3888x2592. Send me a note if there are any that you want.

There are a lot of us, sorry.
Jay,
Thanks for the great regatta and pictures. The conditions were fantastic and we all had funnnn! I can see that this fleet is really becoming very competitive.
I think I'm going to drive my mast into a power line so I can have the speed that Justin was showing us. Great job Justin and Doug. It looks like the Quantum sails are getting dialed in.
I would also like to thank all the folks that volunteered their weekend to put on this reagatta (RC, Jay's dad, and the duck hunters for not shooting a hole in my sails at the windward mark).
Gary
