How many USA Formula 16s would attend the 2012 Miami Olympic Class Regatta (one of six ISAF World Cup events) if the Class is included?

How many boats could we expect from Europe? The OA may be influenced and inclined to consider such if we can make an early committment.

I served on the Laser Circle for 2011 and enjoyed the opportunity to meet some influential souls...

Would you like to rephrase those questions as it won't be F16 on mass being selected, simply one make such as a Viper, Nacra F16 or Falcon etc, if the Viper is not selected then I would doubt you will see many from Europe as it is now the dominant F16 compliant boat over here thanks to the good marketing investment by AHPC.

Is the OCR in Jan? Will it conflict with Tradewinds?

Check it out for a preview of what a Formula 16 owner, dedicated to Olympic sailing might expect. It ain't a cheap beach cat event with

free beer.

One of these events will remain in the memory for life.

Since this is an ISAF World Cup event, and if the OA invites us, be prepared for participation in a 'World - Level' contest on a mean body of water.

There are vacation homes in Biscayne Bay off the lighthouse and Fowery Rock. Now, ain't that cool? My friends on the weather mark boat actually hooked a power line with the anchor for the weather mark one day:-)
