Hate Sausages? Need Crew? That's no excuse.
Regatta organizers often hear excuses for why racers don"t race in their regattas:
- Tired of not racing windward/leeward courses.
- Unable to find crew/boat.
- Unhappy with class breaks.
- Need more family time.
- Time better spent raising money for good causes.
- Not enough free rum.
St. Croix Yacht Club Hospice Regatta organizers have addressed these concerns and hope to reach those who might be overlooking an opportunity to race in the warm, protected waters of the Big Island, February 19-21, 2010.
