US F18 Nationals Registration opens May 28

Bump!!
We're definitely going! I hope we have a similar turnout to Sarasota, or better! Closer for you West Coast guys!

Registration isn't going to open at like 5 am pacific is it? Team Capricorn is coming with the new boat, and maybe even an aussie team joining us.

Team GRG is planning on it.

Team Capricorn in at #6.

Steve,

I've read thru the NOR, etc.

Is there any camping on the site?
What about RV's and electrical hook ups?

Very important to know as we'll be coming from my current state of WI with several entries from CRAW.

Thanks Steve,

Todd Bouton

Todd,

We will be sailing out of downtown Corpus Christi out of the Emerald Beach Holiday Inn. Since we are downtown, there is not an RV site near the regatta. However, we may be able to host people at the Corpus Christi Yacht Club. Let me discuss this issue with the people at the CCYC.

Steve

To all,

We are offering a 'surprise' gift to the first 20 teams that register. (The gift will will be given out at registration.)

We now have 18 teams registered (in just a few days). If you know you are coming, it is time (right now) to register and get one of these gifts. Do it now, now, now!

Register now at http://www.regattanetwork.com/event/8448#_registration

I think for events like this Pre Registration should count as the first race. (Then I get at least one top 10 every year.)

Just added Nationals travel and accommodation information to the USF18 website. We are trying to regularly update the website with all the information you need for the event.

Jeff points you to the website where there is information on RV camping. It also shows the location on a map.
