Special Considerations:
· Arrive via the 'Construction/Service' entrance just before the Main Gate and you will be very near the Small Boat Launch, a map will be provided.
· It is a short sail from the Launch to the Marina Docks where the Force Five fleet will be kept during the regatta, on or next to "F" Dock (floating). F Dock is on the inshore side of A Dock (southern most dock, Sound side of Marina) and attached to A Dock in shallow water with a sand bottom. You will need to sail around the whole dock complex to get to F Dock.
· Trailers will be stored at or near the Small Boat Launch.
· If possible, try to stay on or near the Plantation for minimum travel, maximum fun!!
