It's never to early to start planing for this. RTIA is my all time favorite regatta. Glory Daze does this every 2 years,but 2012 we will be the mothership for our friends on Magic which is a Cal 27. Suzi and I will be crewing on Magic and hopefully be bringing home some hardware. The festivities begin with the Stranded Naked Party on Fiddle Cay,which is just west of Geen Turtle. The party is free for anyone who shows up. They usually serve over 1500 burgers and hotdogs and 100 gallons of rumpunch and margaritas. Did I mention it's all free{the party }. Here is a link to the regatta web site. Hope I can meet some of you there.[url]http://regattatimeinabaco.com/[/url]

Just want to add that you dont need to bring your own boat, there are a couple of charter companys in Marsh Harbour that love to charter boats for the races.

Don't be too quick to worry about where to store that hardware on Magic. Latitudes is planning to give you a run for your money.
Sorry you won't be racing, I'm bringing my 1994 36TM over. Have raced in the past on my 1965 Morgan 34, also named Carefree.
