Steeplechase
by Jake on Dec.06, 2006, under Racing!
Things are frantically paced here as we prepare the double stack of Nacra 20′s for the Key Largo Steeplechase. It’s a 110 mile jaunt around Key Largo. The first day is a race out of the backside of the keys to get to the Atlantic side and drag race south to Anne’s Beach. The second day, we immediately re-enter the backside waters of the keys and race over sandbars, through creeks, around shoals, and finish back where we started. Paddling is allowed (but hopefully not needed!). There is a low pressure system coming across the country that suggests that this one might be breezy. The blue Team Seacats Nacra 20 catamaran and I will be meeting Frank Moore in Key Largo this Friday afternoon to start preparing. Stay tuned!

Drive safe gentlemen. I’ll have the beer iced.
FYI: Just spoke to Mike Krantz – 15-20 knots is projected for Saturday and Sunday…N – NE….
