General Information About Boat Launching:
There are three (1 ton, 2 ton, and 5 ton) hoists. The 1 ton and 2 ton hoists will be utilized for the regatta. The 5 ton hoist will be reserved for club members. There is a large paved area surrounding the hoists.
General Information About the Racing Area:
Average Wind Direction during November: North to East
Average Wind Speed: 7-12 Knots
Average Water Depth: 10 Feet
Tides: Rise or Fall Up to 2.5 Feet or 0.75 Meters
The shoreline can have some influence, however, the area is large enough to sail clear of the shore. If a cold front passes through, which is somewhat rare in November, wind can become strong and gusty. In a North, East, and West wind, the water is protected from large wave build up, and therefore is considered flat water. There is a very small chance of a Southerly wind direction, which can produce greater wave heights.
Travel and Local Information:
The yacht club is located approximately 15 minutes from Tampa International Airport.
There is adequate parking for trailers and cars at the yacht club. The club is located about 3 km from several large brand hotels. There also may be private home/room rentals available nearby through AirBnB or VRBO. November is still considered low season, therefore, rates can be very reasonable.
Charter Boat Availability:
Charter boats will be available through Norlin Mark III One Design.
2021 Helly Hansen NOOD Regattas
“Each year Sailing World magazine presents North America’s largest sailing regatta series, the National Offshore One Design Regattas. Known as the NOOD Regattas, the series was founded in Newport, Rhode Island, by the editors of Sailing World in 1988 to help foster the growing interest in racing one design keelboats.”
