Pre-sale of long sleeve, white, dry regatta shirts
Friday night -- Skipper's Meeting and GBCA Happy Hour on the top deck at Crazy Allan's Swamp Shack
Saturday day - great racing in beautiful fall weather
Saturday night - Old Sunset Grille for live music, catfish, shrimp and all the fixin's.
Give aways and daily prizes from the Classic Cafe
Sunday day - great racing round 2
Sunday afternoon - Trophy presentation at the clubhouse with beverages

All this because of our incredible sponsors -- Thank you  -- BBVA Compass, UK Halsey, Gulf Coast Soda Blast and Hayes Rigging!

Looks like I may have trouble crewing up but will go sign up anyway.  Sounds like fun to me.  Earlier the better.

[Bee]

Done.  OK J105 guys its now time for all of you.

Two questions:

1.  I'm bringing a keel boat in from Corpus.  Can I count on using the GBCA hoist, since HYC/LYC is members-only, except for their sponsored regattas.

2.  My GBPHRF cert is maybe extinct.  No changes since last rating.  Do I really need to re-up for one regatta?

Man I love the name Pot Smoking ... on the B25.  Looks like a complete winner to me.  Boat should blow smoke around everyone.

Sail Fast - what kind of boat?  I am assuming that when you say the GBCA crane you are talking about the one at Seabrook Marina?  Their number is 281-474-2586, you can make arrangements directly with them.

Take a look at this year's poster!

Pre Order your BBVA Compass dry shirt today!!!

Contact me by email or PM here with your size!

Shirts are $30.  See design and sizing chart attached!!

[Bee]

Do these shirts come in something like 64XL?  With that material, my belly will look at least that many times larger then it is --- oops it is that large.

Anyway Bee will take a XXL.

The answer to #2 is in the NOR under Elgibility - basically yes, you need a valid PHRF-GB cert.
