Hi Everybody,
I will be moving to St.Pete-Tampa area and want to start racing after years of intermission..
What is the best class for a newcomer like me which is active and friendly?(single or double handed)
Thanks for the inputs....

Perhaps the best thing to do would be to call the St. Petersburg Yacht Club and ask them what one-design fleets they''ve got. US Sailing might be able to tell you what other clubs (which might have other fleets) might be in the area.

Also check with the Davis Island Yatch Club.

In the St. Pete area your boat is really going to depend on what type of budget you have.

I''m looking somewhere between $8-10K for doublehanded racing.
Snipe fleet looks active in Tampa area.I considered Vanguard 15 but there is not an active fleetin the area.
