H.R. No. 2105 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Dallas Hobie Fleet 23 is hosting the 40th annual | ||
Mid-America's Regatta on Lewisville Lake from May 24 to 27, 2013, | ||
and this special anniversary is a fitting occasion to celebrate | ||
this unique boating event; and | ||
WHEREAS, The regatta features the Hobie catamaran, popularly | ||
known as a Hobie Cat, a lightweight, multi-hulled craft that is one | ||
of the most popular sailboats in North America; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dallas Hobie Fleet 23 is a member of the Hobie Class | ||
Association of North America, and the group has been holding its | ||
regatta every year since 1973, first on Lake Texoma and then, since | ||
the early 1990s, at the Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club on Lewisville | ||
Lake; and | ||
WHEREAS, In its early years, the Mid-America's Regatta was an | ||
area championship at which the winners could qualify for the | ||
national championships, but since 1990, the race has been one of the | ||
premier Hobie Cat regattas in the nation, drawing a large number of | ||
participants and fans; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the past four decades, the members of Dallas | ||
Hobie Fleet 23 and their guests have braved springtime storms and | ||
boat-flipping winds with a sense of fun and camaraderie as racers, | ||
enthusiasts, and their families gather to enjoy food, music, and a | ||
spirited catamaran competition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 40th anniversary of the | ||
Mid-America's Regatta and extend to the event's organizers, | ||
contestants, and fans sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and | ||
memorable weekend; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Dallas Hobie Fleet 23 as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
