300 miles of Extreme Sailing at its best
South Padre to Galveston
June 16 - 19, 2010
The Great Texas Catamaran Race is an off-shore beach catamaran race along the Texas Coast. Starting in South Padre Island and finishing in Galveston, the race will cover approximately 300 miles along the Texas coast over the Father’s Day weekend. The race will be conducted in four stages with each stage starting and ending on the beach!
The morning was kicked off with an 8 AM Skippers Meeting and a 9 AM start to the second annual Surfside to Galveston Dash. This year there were 23 Dash teams, so the first line of 11 boats left the beach at 9 AM and the second line of 12 boats left the beach two minutes later. Pat2 got a slower start, leaving about 15 minutes after the last Dash boat left the beach. The winds and surf were light, but getting out was not a problem and all 23 boats were on their way to East Beach in Galveston. ---read more--- The 10 GT300 boats were ready and waiting at the start of the last leg of the Great Texas, and at 10 AM headed out through the surf with no problems |
