October 7-8, Plane Insane Regatta Scratchlist

Please forward this to your local fleet!

Dear all,

Fall is the BEST time of year to race 505s on the Chesapeake Bay. 505 Fleet 40 at SSA hosts a major event in October each year. Next year -- in 2007 -- we are hosting the 505 North American Championship from October 15-19. This year we are hosting our "Plane Insane" event October 7-8. Last year we hosted the East Coast Championships -- http://www.int505.org/fleet19/events/200510ECC/ -- with 33 505s racing, the largest ECC turnout in years!

Warm water, excellent chances of good breeze (ask anyone who raced our fall events in 2005, 2004, 2003, etc.), excellent race committee work, billeting available. Fleet captain Sterg Papadakis will be sending out the official NOR shortly.

But put this weekend on your calendar and come to SSA to see what great fall racing on the Chesapeake is like, and to scope out the venue for the 2007 North American Championships.

Don't have someone to sail with? Let me know, I will match people up.

Don't have a 505? Let me know, we have a fleet loaner boat, I have a second boat, and we will try to match up interested sailors with boats.
