So far, we have 12 boats registered for the 2011 Capri/Catalina Nationals.
I know many more of you are planning to join this great event, so why not save $25 and register by Monday? We extended the early registration window from July 1 to August 1, which is now upon us. Also keep in mind that registering early helps out-of-town boats see how many boats are in the regatta, and increases the likelihood that they will make the trip.
If you've never been to a Catalina-Capri 25-250 national regatta, you should take the opportunity to participate while it's in your neighborhood. It's always fun and exciting, and there's always an atmosphere of friendly camaraderie. The National Association has always moved the regatta around the country to make it more accessible to everyone. It might be a few years before it gets back to your area.
I would like to see the C25s and 250s racing non-spinn, to encourage maximum participation, but I always raced non-spinn, regardless of whether or not spinnakers were permitted, and was always competitive against spinnaker boats, so, don't feel you won't be competitive without a spinnaker. These boats are still fast downwind, even wing-and-wing, with a poled-out genoa.
