RACING/REGIONAL RACINGhold the regatta in the ocean. In addition, the fleet lost a coupleof key members when they moved to new jobs out ofstate. They were unable to find replacements in time for theregatta this year. The advantage for participants is that theRudder Club has established facilities and an unsurpassed reputationfor hospitality. If the Summer Sizzler remains at theRudder Club, both multi and monohull sailors can look forwardto a great time and a reasonable cost in future regattas.More photos are available at www.floridamultihullsailor.com.Special Olympics of Georgia Regatta,Lake Lanier, GA, Sept. 8-10By Ron MitchelletteThe 36th anniversary of the Special Olympics of Georgia(SOGA) was celebrated on beautiful Lake Lanier over theweekend of September 8-10.
