Less than two weeks and only seven boats registered.  Vipers and Club Handicap classes have formed. 
Where are the big boats, PHRF, J105s, J109s, J80s, J24s, J22s, Catalina 22s?
This is a Viper Texas Circuit stop.
Any other one designs?

Two days of racing.

Help your volunteers out by signing up to let us know how many to expect.

Thanks

A FREE t-shirt with each entry!

And celebrate St. Patrick Saturday night with Guiness Irish Stew, Irish Champ (potatoes & green onions), and maybe a keg o' Harp.  First start Sunday isn't until 1100, so let's party.
Please sign up now so I know how much to make.

The 105 Mid Winters are the week before so depending on the weather there my not be many of us sign up.  I will poll my crew on Sunday but don't count too much on us.

Sorry.

The long term forecast look pretty good for the Spring Regatta. If not racing, come out and volunteer on Race Committee or at the after race parties. This should be a great regatta. The Icicles were a great success, let's keep it going for the rest of the year! Sign up early and often!

What happened to the sailing instructions? I know it says after 1900 and nothing about before a time but it would be a helpful piece of information if only to know when to start and where to go :)

Spectacular pictures.  Rally nice to have those.  Wish all the clubs had Lacy equivalents, but GBCA refuses to give up ours.
