Sarah Douglas in ILCA 6 brings home an 8th from the 2024 Olympics

After 9 races Sarah slipped into the medal race in 10th place. Gold and Silver were already established, Bronze was up for grabs but out of Sarah’s reach. This didn’t prevent her from fighting for that which was in reach and she jumped ahead of France and the US to land herself in 8th.  

Congratulations Sarah!!!

Hurricane Idalia Damages Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club Marina

Martin Holland, 1 September 2023

Hello,

I wanted to provide you with some information/pics.  As you can see, we have had major damage to the Club’s Marina. The Club itself is fine.

We will need at least 4 – 6 weeks to evaluate and provide a 2.4mR Regatta Series plan.
Please, pass along the message that we will provide an update as soon as we can but now, we really need the 4-6 weeks.

Sail Fast,

Martin Holland, Punta Gorda, FL.
