The Gulf South has quietly produced some of this country's strongest sailors, and many will be in attendance at this year's event. Post-Katrina, the Gulf Coast has also seen an expansion of its one-design fleets as many owners replace their lost boats with faster and the more practical trailerable boats.
With Key West Race Week culminating a short two weeks before the start of the Mardi Gras Regatta, why not transit that boat back through New Orleans and get in another few days of hard core racing.
Mardi Gras Regatta consists of a GYA Capdeville event as well as multiple classes of one-design racing.
