I would just watch from land if you are only coming down for the day. Last year we watched from the water on Saturday and from land Sunday.
Watching by land had a better overall view of the course.
You can walk the docks and see the raceboats up close and personal and talk to the racers.

We watched from Beaver's and the Iguana Vendor Village point area on Sunday last year and it wasn't too bad.

If you put in at Berger's your going to be right where the races are being run and they will have a "No Wake" for a 1/2 mile or more before and during the race... Last year we had quite a few small boats tooling around and even an Amphicar which can't take any large waves... I think you'd be fine in the CC.... Jim

Sorry but no. I've been there with an 18' bow rider, and its awful. Just kidding, It's actually the worst experience I've ever had on a lake. 3-5 foot swells is not at all exaggerating and it can get worse when the ocean liners pass each other. It's neat to see all the boats and if social drinking is your thing then by all means, its easier to handle if you're wasted. I would strongly reconsider if you have a small boat and plan to enjoy a nice day of boating.
Stick to the docks and shorelines if you want to come out unscathed.

"Run what you brung" sounds like an entry level class for people with 30' boats and under trying to get into the racing scene, guess it's just a new name for "unlimited"

Well I survived my first day... Just watched the recovery skater make a few laps in frontof shady gators..boat is beautiful and sounds good.. Hell there is pontoons running around everywhere.
Definitely rough but Im glad I brought the cc.... Definitely more capable than I thought.

I like the field of boats, but unlimited is a more appropriate title like you said.
