The Miami RC 44 regatta turned out to be one of the best. 14 boats racing, wind ranging from 5-27 knots. Everyone had a good time on and off the water. Some, maybe a bit too much fun off the water. That is one of the reasons you come to Miami. First time driver Doug Douglas won the fleet races. He sailed on 17, recent world RC champion. Goes to show that a good driver can step on a good boat and be competitive.
We have 5 boats sailing in Key West in January. Dave Murphy will be using the time to tune up Ironbound a bit more. David has just joined the class and is loving sailing the boat against the fleet and sailing very fast upwind and down. The one thing that separates the RC from other sport boats is she goes very well upwind. Going 8 knots at a very high efficient angle get you to the weather mark fast so you can get to the real fun.
We will be having a private boat show in Key West. The boats will be docked at Historic Seaport Marina on Dock A 07-11.
I would be glad to show you around the boats and answer any questions you might have. If you are interested in a private showing of the boats, let me know and I can set up an appointment.
