In 2007, the Stiletto Nationals was reformatted to be open to all multihull sailboats and renamed after the late Bob Buzzelli, avid multihull and Stiletto sailor. The regatta has grown from a small fleet of Stilettos to a varied fleet on multiple courses.
Last year’s participants came from: Arizona, Alabama, California, Colorado, Dominican Republic, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and all corners of Florida.
A total of 74 boats competed in 8 classes comprised of: Stilettos, Corsairs, Formulas, Hobies, Nacras, Windriders, Hobie Waves, Wetas, and a variety of other multihulls. All had a marvelous time with great competition on the water, comradery on land, and wonderful hospitality from the Sarasota Sailing Squadron.
Friday’s race was, per tradition, on the Gulf of Mexico with a fleet of 7 Stilettos for their long-distance race and many other boats ranging from 14 to 31 feet. Races on Saturday and Sunday where on Sarasota Bay on three courses.
