:: Hello Everyone,
::
:: Announcing the Schedule for the 2011 Express 27 SF
:: Championship and SF Long Distance Series.
::
:: The 2011 SF Championship Series is comprised of
:: traditional buoy regattas, challenging distance, double
:: handed, combination regattas, and a traditional ocean
:: race, with 10 of those events followed by a social. The
:: schedule reflects the versatility of the boat and the
:: members of the fleet.
::
:: The 2011 SF Long Distance Series builds on the Distance
:: races in the SF Championship Series by adding the Double
:: Handed Lightship and the Double Handed Corinthian race
:: for a total of 11 races.
::
:: Many of the event dates have changed from last year.
:: That has created an opening for the popular SSS
:: Corinthian race, however, date changes have compressed
:: the front end of the LD series. The change in dates
:: leave one less championship event, however, has created
:: a better cadence to the schedule.
::

:: -The fleet continues to grow, and so does the fun. 
:: -2011 will be a great year for the Fleet! 
:: -I look forward to seeing each one of you out on the water!
