[quote=hobiewonkanobie][quote=david.ingram][quote=hobiewonkanobie]Unofficial multihull sail around Santa Rosa Island (we will accept monohulls if they want to try and keep up). This get together is not affiliated with the "official" Round the Island Regatta. We are only sailing on this day and this course for fun. Next year when the "official" race is back online we will continue to sail in that race. We will start the sail at 7 am just North of the Destin pass in the Choctawhatchee Bay at Crab Island. The sailboats will be followed by a 21 foot Robalo fishing boat. The chase boat will hold supplies (that you provide) such as food, water and first aid kits.
We plan to finish by 7-9 pm and if we are not back to the Choctawhatchee Bay, we may stop at any number of locations on Santa Rosa sound such as Juana's Pagodas or Leeside park or any other location that has a boat ramp. Last year we had a blast and finished by 9pm. The chase boat will assist with any problems and can exchange any sailors that tire or need a break.
This will be a very informal sail and a way to enjoy the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding beauty from the water. Each boat is responsible for their own safety. I recommend at a minimum: VHF radio, cell phone, PFDs, running lights, food and water. Oh and don't forget common sense.

Is this happening June 26 - 28?[/quote]
The original race was set for June 26-28 but as you can see in the first post FWB yacht club has cancelled their race and will reschedule for next year.
I enjoy the sail so have decided to run the course on June 27 starting at 7 am from an area North of the Destin pass called Crab Island. So far we have 5 sailors on two cats and one chase boat. Would love to have more boats.
