To everybody interested.
A lot of folks are wondering if The Statue of Liberty Race will take
place this year. YES it will. Here is what happened:
Last winter the Coast Guard issued a new set of regulations regarding
the the Statue and Ellis Island, including the extension of the security
areas (from 150 to 400 yards). This made the rounding of the monument
virtually impossible. We obtained a grandfathered status for our event
on the condition that we provide them background check information
including DOB and SSN for every participant before the end of June. To
comply, we created a secure web site to handle this confidential
information and were ready to broadcast this to the catsailor community,
hoping that sailors will pre register, but also knowing that this type
of information is not easy to give on the Internet.
Last month, we learned from the authorities that the 400 yards security
zone will not be in place this year, hence BACKGROUND CHECK IS NOT
REQUIRED.
We still have the pre-registration site running (without DOB and SSN)
and we strongly invite you to pre-register (go to fleet 250.org), this
will help our planning and organization. No payment is involved.
The event is on July 4th (July 5th is the make-up day). It is open to
ALL multihulls.
Thanks to all, and come prepared for a great event.

Well,
There will be priority distribution on t-shirts/Giveaways:
The ones who preregistered and the volunteers will be served first. The others will have what is left.
