What is the Tybee 500? The Tybee 500 is a 500 mile catamaran race from Hollywood, FL to Tybee Island, GA. For more info, the official Tybee 500 website is www.tybee500.com When is it? The Tybee 500 will start on Sunday, May 8th, and should be completed on Friday, May 13th - not a good omen... Who are SailMax I and SailMax II? SailMax I is Mike Krantz and David Lennard. Mike and David started sailing together in 2003, and have since competed in numerous distance races including the Tybee 500, Texas 300, and several Steeplechase 100's. Previous to sailing with Mike, David has completed two Worrell 1000's in 2001 and 2002. Additionally, they have been very active in the NAF-18 class traveling extensively throughout the US and Canada, and finishing out 2004 being ranked 5th in North America. SailMax II is comprised of Carl Roberts and Jake Kohl. Carl has competed in 7 previous Worrell 1000 races and the 2003 Tybee 500. Jake completed the 2004 Tybee 500 as a member of Team Seacats. With Carl's experience and Jake's wealth of engineering and navigational knowledge, I expect this team to do very well. Who are our Ground Crew? Anyone who has ever competed in an event like this know, that one of the most important components to winning is having a successful ground crew. The support that you receive on shore plays a fundamental part of your success on the water. This year we are privileged to have an experienced ground crew with a phenomenal attitude.
