Hester,

Welcome to the Western Gulf Coast.

When you get here send me a PM and we can try to get together. I have an eKo Mini and don't mind sharing a ride.

Sam

Hello,

I'm looking for a boat to do some double handed racing on. I'm from scotland and I will be coming to work in Houston for a year at the start of October. I've recently come out of the UK's Royal Yachting Association's Youth Keelboat Squad and last summer I was part of the team to complete the Fastnet in their TP52 "John Merricks II". I'm currently saving up for a Mini 6.5 and so looking to gain some shorthanded sailing experience in the meantime. If anyone is looking for a co-skipper/crew for the coming season please get in contact. (I have a sailing CV available on request.)
Also if anyone has any useful info on good races and things like that I'd be glad to hear from you.

Cheers,
Hester

would like to participate as a single hander in the 2010 regatta de amigos!
can you help me?

It is final. Regatta de Amigos will not allow boats under 30 nor less than 4 crew. Period, end of story.

If SOS-TEX planned to race at the same time is anyone interested?

Sam

I talked to Kevin yesterday and he said yes there will be a SOS class...good news

There was for the last two trips I think.

Maybe Kevin will let us know about 2010, I didn't want to approach them if there was no interest.

Sam

Yes, we are....
where is everybody on this forum.
Lots of sos sailors running the Icicle and Rum Races.....
Sam, do you think there will be a class for Regatta de Amigos this year?

Anybody thinking about doing this this year shorthanded?

I am thinking about taking my new Mini down. Might get another to go.

Sam

There is an SOS-TEX Class in the 2009 Race to the Border.

Registration at: http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubs/gbca.html

Looking forward to it on the Soverel 27. 
Now is the time for SOS-TEX to shine. 
Weather is looking good. Let's get some more boats signed up!
