If you stretch the boundaries of Northern Gulf Coast to Birmingham, Alabama, you now can add one more to the fleet. I will be driving down to Rockport, Texas within the next couple of weeks to take delivery of #183 and could not be more excited about it.
I grew up racing PHRF with my dad and his buddies on Mobile Bay and at GYA Challenge Cups in various J-Boats (J-24, J-27, J-28, J-80, J-33), an Olson 25, and a few other boats. In college, I raced 420s around the Southeast on Spring Hill College's sailing team. After a too-long absence from regular racing, I am jumping back in with the U20. Once I learn to drive it, maybe I can join you guys in some one design racing.
