Larry and Jackson have spent the time and energy in all of the right places in the last couple of years and their skills have vastly improved. At no time were they dramatically behind the fleet and most days this year they were finishing right up there with everyone else and racing to the finish line. Their story with being catamaran sailors for a short few years and overcoming the Tybee500 are a testament to what you can do or become with a little dedication, a great attitude, and an indestructible spirit. Here’s to Cat in the Hat!

Larry from the 2007 Tybee
Snip Snip! Buzz Buzz!

We can barely see them from the beach - the sun is going down but they could be here before daylight is completely gone.

Chaos called and they just hit 11 knots of boat speed under jury rig w/ spin pole and jib headed to the finish!!!! I question whether or not they can maintain the high angle for the finish or if they’re going to just target Tybee Island - they’re only 6.5 miles out now and they said they’re comin’ home.

Cat in the hat is in and Larry is losing his “jesus” hair tomorrow morning as part of his pledge to his completion of the Tybee 500.

Cat in the Hat visible on the horizon.
No word yet from chaos but we know they have cell phone (with poor reception) and EPIRB. Earlier in their phone call they said their VHF radio wasn’t working (had water in it). We’re running through ideas to fetch them but the south winds should blow them to us on Tybee Island so we’re being as patient as possible.

Velocity in 2nd just a few min ago. Marley’s Yellow and then Orange. Just heard from Chaos and they’ve lost their mast about 11 miles out…they want to try and rig something up with the spin pole and the jib to get them home. I was asking them if they wanted time or a tow…they lost cell phone reception before they could answer me…we’re going to give them 10 minutes or so to rig something up before we try to call them again.

A blue spinnaker is visible on the horizon - it’s either Cat Fever or Velocity.

Team Tybee just finished and wins the Tybee 500! We’ve got a light drizzle here with heavy overcast skies. No other boats in sight.
