COME JOIN US AT THE MIDWINTERS!!
Who says grown ups don't get a spring break? Come join the party at the Midwinters Regatta in Sarasota, FL!!
Registration forms are now available for the Flying Scot Midwinter Regatta, held March 11-15 in Sarasota, Florida. It's a nice chance to get away from the Midwest winter and to get a little sailing in before your season gears up. We just registered on line and it's very easy!
Here's the link

And if you want to work out some kinks before the regatta you can come to the Davis Island warm up regatta March 9 & 10.
Both facilities are top notch and the sailing is always good!
Postings about sailing Flying Scots in the Midwest District. If you have something that you'd like to have included here, please email it to me, Ben Williams (bdwillms@life.uiuc.edu). I sail Catitude (FS #6144) with my wife, Debby Aronson.

Ring in the New Year with a Brand New Flying Scot at a Bargain Price!!
Well, this blog has been sadly quiet as Ben and I settle into our winter hibernation, dreaming of fair winds and new sails. But wait, what's this?! Ah, yes, the Chicago Boat Show, scheduled January 24-27 to help us through our winter doldrums.
An added attraction to this year's show is a brand new Flying Scot, #6030, being offered by Harry Carpenter at a deeply discounted price. You can save $4,000 if you decide this is the boat for you!!
Please let your sailing friends (or even those who don't sail ... yet!) about this great deal! I am going to try to post the flyer Harry sent me with all the details.
Hmmmm... nope, not working. Okay, here it is in cut-and-paste style!
