</div>Tybee 500 Postponed
<p><strong>Message from Chuck Bargeron, organizer of the Tybee 500.</strong>
</p>
<p>To the Tybee 500 Fleet, its staff and supporters:
</p>
<p>Judi and I would like to extend our gratitude and respect to everyone for the years of dedication and effort. On behalf of the entire Tybee 500 administrative team, THANK-YOU ALL!
</p>
<p>The last couple of years have been a challenge as tough economic times have required us all to tighten our belts and choose carefully where our hard earned money and vacation time is spent. With that reality in mind, I have made the decision to postpone the Tybee 500 until May 2012. I will be contacting the checkpoints to inform them of this announcement.
</p>Notice of Race for GT300 Has been posted.
<p>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 covers approximately 300 miles along the Texas coast over Father's Day weekend. The race is conducted in four stages with each stage starting and ending on the beach.

</p>2011 Tybee 500 Notice of Race
<p><strong>The Notice of Race for the 2011 Tybee 500 has been published.</strong>
</p>
<p> There are several changes from last year.
</p>
<p>The date has been moved about a week later, the 2011 race will start on Monday, May 16 from Islamorada, FL and finish Saturday, May 21 at Tybee Island, GA.
</p>
<p>The NOR has been changed to allow for the inclusion of additional classes. This doesnâ??t automatically mean that more than just the F18 and Nacra 20â??s from 2010 will be there, but it leaves the door open for new classes if they can come up with 5 entries and are acceptable to the organizer as suitable for the race. This appears to be geared towards allowing the new Nacra Predator 20x10 carbon beachcat introduced recently, but how about a class of F16â??s, could the lightweight boats and crews handle the 560 miles of open water?
</p>
<p>The stopping place for leg two has been changed from Jupitor Beach to a little further up the coast to Jensen Beach. This was done to even out the length of legs two and three, the Jensen Beach location has a long history with both the Tybee 500 and the Worrell 1000.

Build Your Own Dory Boat
Dory boats
are great fun and easy to build. What's more they move
through the water easily, whether you row, or they are
powered by wind or an outboard engine. Once you build
your dory, you will enter the wonderful world of messing
about in boats!
Dory sailboats have sailed across oceans for years, covering
thousands of miles in safety. One of the most famous wooden
dory sailboats is Badger, a junk-rig schooner used for
long-distance cruising. The Grand Banks dories are also
famous. These were used by the large fishing boats when
they reached the fishing grounds. You can now build a
16-foot Grand Banks Dory easily with the right
plans.
Then you can just float about, or race across the lake
or river, sail along the coast or just potter about on
the water.
Build, don't buy a dory
It is not easy to buy one unless you live in Newfoundland, because not many firms make them and they are expensive. But you don't need to buy one! Now you can build your own- easily and simply. But only if you have the right plans and method – you can get it here.
Most dories are much smaller, and are used for creek crawling or messing about in boats. Although dories cut through the water easily, one of their main advantages is that they have a very shallow draft, and so can be sailed into shallow creeks, and beached easily.

A dory boat is a simple shape, but without the right information it can be a nightmare to build, because you need to get the dimensions exact, and get location of the panels just right when you assemble them.
Of course it is also important that you get plans, etc, from someone who has been building dories for years - experience really counts here.
Digital images make it easy
You really need digital images to get the best plans, so that
you can actually see each step in the process. Build
your own 16-foot Grand Banks Dory, and you can save
hundreds of dollars. You will end up with a quality product
that could last 30 years! Get
your plans now.
