Wow !!! :-O Must have been some kinda blow..

Was just reading your post about a 16' cat. You will not be happy with that choice if you put more than 2 people on it. If you don't have 10 + mph the...

I would look for a G-cat 5.7 . . This boat will do what you want a speed will be there too. This boat is available in Destin FL.

It would definitely have a single handed class.

Slip to Ship sounds great and the yard bird and pepsi

Is anybody going to start posting regatta dates on the calendar > That way I can start coming up with ideas on how to get out of work. Yes most old sc...

Guess you have never been down here on Memorial weekend. Look it up .

you should bring that pretty sail to Pensacola Beach on Memorial Day !!! 😆 😆 😆 😆

I'll join you !!!! :-O

I have owned 3 P 18-2's and one P-19MX . The 18-2 is a much better starter. I have sailed p's since I was 10 , now 44. The 19 is a lot of boat and it'...

Do you have any pictures ? I'm certified in marine coatings and will help if I can.

Just look @ registration from last year. 12 boats 2012 , 6 boats 2013. I sailed the very first and there was an easy 100 boats and over the years it h...

Really like that suggestion . April sounds good. I have been trying to find a 2013 race schedule so as to get an idea of what happened this to go by. ...

The weekend before is out because there is still to many tourists . The summer months could be more costly for people who have to travel a long way. I...

Craig , I don't know how hard you sail your boat but have you had any trouble with the system breaking any parts ? Yes I would like some pics. Thanks ...
