Looking for a reasonable regatta in Feb-March with a decent PHRF fleet (yes I know there are no decent PHRF fleets so anything which may have a bit of decent racing and fun). Needs to be on the east coast preferably north of Florida, any ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

They are on the east coast of Texas. |

East coast, ha ha. Let me put in a 2nd plug for NYRA, that's on the Neuse River in NC. Not hard to get here and it's a great sailing venue. Corpus Christi is a beautiful place to sail, I can't believe there's not some kind of winter series going on there. It's not north of Florida though FB- Doug |

One of the longest running Wednesday Night racing series in the country, since 1967 or something. I'll second the eastern NC stuff. Don't forget to go to Beaufort. |

Get a racing fix in winter by thinking outside the box. A buddy arranged to charter a one design (Lightning) for a winter regatta in SanDiego 2 years ago. We are phrf racers but this sounded like fun. I joined him and his foredeck guy. He races a Lightning too, but I hadn't been on one in 10 years. We flew in from Wisconsin, had a ball, of course met some great folks on and off the water, raced mid pack in a five day series and spent a surprisingly small $ amount for the week. I think most OD fleets would love to swell thier ranks for any regatta and you could probably find a decent boat to charter. I know we put down a damage deposit and a fixed charter fee. Both were reasonable and we got our deposit back at the end of the week after not damaging the boat. Our $ cost with flight, hotel, rental car, charter and race fee was approx $750/ person (Rum Extra) for the whole week.
