Other Hobie Sailing Activities - In addition to the above multiple-day regattas, the following also must be mentioned regarding Hobie Sailing in Florida.

Gulfport Yacht Club Club Race Series - This yacht club is Gulfport/St.Petersburg Florida hosts a Saturday Club race twice a month on the first and third Saturday. This typically involves 2-4 buoy races. Typically it starts with one open Portsmouth class which is most A-Cats and Hobie 16s. After the first start, the following races go off separately for the A-class and Hobie 16 class as necessary. These races are a great way to keep your sailing skills in shape, and to get out for a day of competitive buoy racing. Gulfport Yacht Club is also home to Hobie Fleet 5. See the clubs website for schedule and more details. http://www.gulfportyachtclub.com/

Hobie Fleet 44 Sundays at the Beach - Sailing right off of Fort Lauderdale beach, on any given Sunday you can find members of Hobie Fleet 44 sailing on the beach and having an impromptu race around a freighter or other landmark offshore. In addition, the Fleet holds an annual Commodore Cup race every December. Fleet 44 was host to the 2011 Mid-Winters East HCA Regatta. Fort Lauderdale beach also allows for mast-up storage on the beach by permit. See the club on Facebook at Cat44.

Hope to see you there.
