[J22-Fleet 1] J22 Midwinters NOR available and registration open

[John Dyer]

Southern Yacht Club and Fleet 46 in New Orleans are excited to host the
2017 J22 Midwinter Championship March 23-26. Registration will be Thursday,
March 23, with racing beginning Friday morning and continuing through
Sunday midday. Up to nine races are planned. For those snowbirds who want
to enjoy even more temperate winter sailing, the New Orleans Yacht Club
Mardi Gras Regatta is a few weeks before this event.

Planned off the water activities for the J22 Midwinters will include a trip
to the French Quarter to experience a Bourbon Street party, plus great
daily entertainment. Southern Yacht Club is located on the south shore of
Lake Pontchartrain (the lake forms the northern border of the city). The
lake is 24 miles in diameter and is relatively shallow at 14 feet deep. The
winds in March are governed by the timing of fronts which pass through. It
is hard to predict whether the breeze will be light or heavy more than a
few days in advance, but in all likelihood there will be a little of
everything over the course of the regatta. If the breeze does kick up, a
short chop can develop very quickly, testing gear and seamanship.

Contact Zak Fanberg (Fanbergz at eaganins.com), Richard Heausler (
rheausler at tdw.com) or Peter Gambel (petergambel at att.net) if you have any
questions. For the Notice of Race, further event details and to register,
