Charleston Melges 24 Fleet Captain, Chris Hamilton, says:
Hello All,
There are some important follow up items up for the Easter Regatta. Carolina Yacht Club has limited space and we are going to only register 15 total M24’s. If you are planning on attending, please call me directly to register, make arrangements for launching, trailer storage and transition into race week. All boats and trailers will be removed from CYC on Saturday the 11th (the Regatta is Frid/Sat no racing on Sunday). We will plan to sail in from racing on Saturday to Charleston Yacht Club, we should have more room and there will be a lot less traffic at the CHYC club. Please call for any questions.
Thank You
Chris Hamilton

Josh Hirsch from Maryland willing be chartering Steve Kopf’s second boat: USA 489. Steve will be sporting his brand-new, direct from Zenda thrill ride: Hull 773. And just this minute Stuart McNay from New England registered!
Editor’s Note: Team PAGAN Racing accidentally registered twice. So there’s one less boat than shown on the list of entries. 53 Listed – 1 = 52 actually registered. We’ll clean up this accounting issue soon.
