London, UK Song Helps Disabled Sailing.

Some of the proceeds from the sale of a CD featuring a song about sailing are to help raise awareness of disabled sailing.

Sailing is one of the sports featured in the Paralympic Games which take place in Athens this September, and to mark the occasion, UK singer/songwriter Peter Brodie has released a CD with 10 tracks including 'Summer Breeze', a ballad about going sailing. For every copy of the CD sold during 2004, Brodie is donating one US Dollar to the International Foundation for Disabled Sailing (IFDS).

The Third Annual SAILATHON will be held on Sunday, October 3, 2004 off the Ventura Pier in Pierpont Bay.

This event, the only one of its kind in Ventura County, is non-competitive and is open to all sailors interested in raising money for CAREGIVERS while enjoying a fun-filled day with friends and family.

This year a new venue was selected for Performance Race Week, the Nacra North American Championships. Tybee Island, Georgia was chosen for several reasons, the most impressive being the success of the Tybee 500 this past May. The organizers of the Tybee 500 have agreed to work with Performance Catamarans to bring new energy into Performance Race Week to be held October 4th though 7th.

"We anticipate this new location being a favorite for future championships," said Jack Young of Performance Catamaran "We¹ve already gotten positive feedback with regards to the weather, accommodations and island activities."

The race site is just off the Host Hotel The Beachside Colony. It¹s a great place to watch from the beach or the balcony of your room. The course is a triangle course using the US Sailing Multihull Courses.
