Just got this from Warren Green:
We are fast approaching a do or die for the Florida 300. We have all agreed: There must be 10 boats registered and committed with a deposit of $100 by March 15th or there will be no race. We feel sure of 8 now. There are so many things left to do and we need registrations. Our formal and legal structure is required to get the insurance, and we will not commit to this without sailor commitments. We are ready to go but need registrations. Our new corporation will be “Sail Series promotions Inc”, if no complications. The SI is in preparation, the committee is at work. Our dates are May 19-22, 2014. Our locations are secured. Our web site to get forms and see the NOR is www.florida300.com We start at the Islander resort in the Florida Keys and end in Cocoa Beach.

Developing committee member
We now have 11 teams with deposits in and the race is on!
Names and teams to be released on florida300.com
We now have 12 boats and will close it at 20.
The last leg of the Florida 300 will be deemed the
dogfight
and is a one day Vero to Cocoa Beach 50 mile run, with any 16 ft to 22 ft catamaran that would like to try out a leg of this race. The boats that join in will be sent off earlier, and race to cocoa with the rest of the Florida 300 racers. We have a great area to put in at Vero and pull out in cocoa, and all will be invited to the rib feat dinner in Cocoa that night.
Nice job, using what has been very successful for the GT300 regarding the last leg with an addition to the fleet, starting at an earlier time. Gt300 uses 1 hr IIFC!
I won't be making it this year I don't think,
but I wish you well, and I'm sure it will go well!
Hi Todd,
Yes we have been looking at the GT300, Tybee 500 and Worrell 1000 for ideas. The GT300 is a great race and they have some good systems in place.
I am sorry you won't be making it but thanks for the feedback and hopefully next year you might be able to do it.
I need an ocean sail.
Time to start working on a cross state trip.
