Contact Mark Bryant for more details about this regatta minikeelwet@yahoo.com This is a new sailing center in Fort Meyers. Fort Meyers is a beautiful area and is home to the Thomas Edison Estate. This location is only 2.5 hours from Miami and the event is being held the weekend after the Miami OCR. The organizers have already arranged for low hotel rates, low regatta fees and for social activities after racing. Floating docks make it a great location for 2.4 Sailing.

| 2007 Hugh Fletcher Memorial 9/30/2007 | Noroton, CT | ||
| The Hugh Fletcher Memorial Regatta was held September 29 and 30 at the Norton Yacht Club. True to the end of September, the waves were big and the winds were up, gusting up to 25 knots on the first day. Lee Morrison, the PRO, managed to get off six races; five of the 10 competitors remained on the water for the all six. The second day was predicted to be moderate with winds around 7 knots. The morning broke with 15 knots of breeze and smaller waves, but still wet and wild. Mark LaBlanc took four bullets, with the remaining top 5 places spread evenly among the top competitors. Third place went to Charlie Rosenfeld with 38 points, Second place went to Julio Reguero with 28 points, and first place went to Mark LaBlanc with 15 points. The Sportsmanship Award, in memory of Hugh Fletcher, was awarded to Carolyn Wilson for her tenacity in completing all ten races in a joyful style. Jim Reiman received special mention for his persistence in racing in all ten races even though it was his first try at the boat and for his repeated appreciation to the Race Committee. | |||
