If you must charter a F17, contact your local dealer.

I will be sailing during the winter and encourage you northern sailors to come down from time to time and sail with me!

Kind of far for 90% of the F17s, ain't it?

Have to move it around to allow more folks to see the boat and race in a different place! 4 folks are already signed up to come to FWB next year; there will be more!

If you come, you MUST check out this bar. http://www.juanaspagodas.com/ When I bought my 4.3 at FWYC we went there to eat and party. It was a HOOT, sand floor. And great sailing there is you have time before going back home.

I went back and looked at the weather for the last 2 years during this time of year. Winds 5-15kts with mostly sunny skies and a hi/lo of 78F/60F.

Good times!!

Attached is a website I found for condos in the Ft Walton area. They have places on the beach starting in the low 400's for that week.

I am looking forward to next years Nacra N A's. I think the F 17 fleet will support the event with big numbers. Might even be the biggest fleet....again. You already have quite a few sailors in the area....the CRAM group will probably show up like we usually do. I mean where else can we sail in October anyway?

Checking out your sign up sheet it looks like the gauntlet is down for the other fleets to catch up....

Ft. Walton is a great venue and its a sweet vacation for us Northern folks after the end of our season....a bonus!

The FWYC is having a meeting real soon about all the races we are running this year. I'll have more info about motels, etc after that. Good times!
