Skippers,
Thank you for registering for the Heat is On! the one day regatta on July 10th
This note is to provide you a general outline of the Heat is On, EC12 Regatta Experience to be raced at the Reeds Canal Pond at 919 Reed Canal Rd in South Daytona FL 32119. We also want to hear from you about your expectations for the regatta.
The Heat is On! is going to be unique, not only is it a regatta but it will also be a great time to learn about setting up our boats and race tactics.
Currently we have over 20 skippers who have indicated they were sailing in the Heat is On!! and want to learn more about being competitive in the class.
Our plan is to blend an EC12 learning experience, with hands-on help from some of the best sailors in Florida and a regatta to help skippers get ready for the NCR at the Villages FL, later this year on November 11-13!

Here's the race day plan.
