Gator Bowl - Jacksonville Fl

Gator Challenge and Gator Bowl Regatta
Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7, 2008


The first weekend in December may be too cold for sailing up north (as in Carolina), but weather can be perfect for Scot sailing on the St. John’s River. In truth, weather conditions for the Gator Bowl Regatta are unpredictable—bring shorts and foulies! It’s both a stop on the Florida District circuit (Charlie Fowler’s legacy) and the Gator Challenge. Close to twenty boats from Jacksonville and the rest of Florida District sail each year. The Gator Challenge adds a team trophy to the mix for Flying Scots. The Florida District takes on all comers. The Wally Gator trophy (a trophy that could only be from Florida—an alligator head mounted on wood) is awarded to the district with the top three boats for the regatta. Ryan Malmgren, Mike Miller, and Harry Carpenter took Wally away from Florida this past year, and the Florida District wants him back.
