To: Etchells Sailors
Re: Acura Miami Race Week - March 11 - 13, 2005


Premiere Racing is pleased to invite Etchells sailors to Acura Miami Race Week 2005.

The Southern Ocean Racing Conference - known to racing sailors around the world as "SORC" - has found a new life with our Premiere Racing organization. As you may know, we have built Key West Race Week into the top annual keel boat event in North America and one of the elite race weeks on the international racing calendar.

There are some obvious synergies with the Key West and Miami events, and Premiere Racing will capitalize on these as we turn our immediate attention to the critical issues of boat and class logistics and professional race management.

Three of the very best Principal Race Officers in the business, Dave Brennan, Tom Duggan and Ken Legler, will ensure the race committee work is up to our Key West Race Week standards.

The Etchells will race on the Biscayne Bay course over three days, March 11-13. The new Shake-A-Leg sailing facility in Coconut Grove will be the host site for racing on the bay. The Miami Beach Marina is the host site for the ocean divisions. To further ensure that the logistics are simple and the experience is enjoyable for all, the Friday and Saturday post-race parties will be held at both sites.

Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the host club for the Etchells class winter Jaguar Series, will also host the Etchells class for Acura Miami Race Week. The application for storage, launch-haul and dock space is on the race week web site or the Etchells web site www.EtchellsFleet20.org. For additional information please contact: Ken Batzer or Phone: (954) 946-3467).

Excellent racing conditions in Biscayne Bay and South Beach nightlife are a winning combination. Add improved logistics and top-notch race management and the inaugural Acura Miami Race Week is a not to be missed event.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Peter Craig
