Savannah Georgia Races! A Catamaran Challange!

Rich Moore emailed me recently, Geechee Sailing is racing! As a Savannah Georgia GA USA based Sailing Club, Rich offered a challenge! Rich will be racing his Gemini Catamaran, I have been informed that he has challenged one of the local Lagoon 380 Owners! Rich wrote: "I along with Chip in his Lagoon will be slugging it out for Top Cat in the area. If you know of anyone interested in two days of fun and racing, please send them our way." If there are any other Cat Owners in the area that would like to enter please Let Rich know!
