Registration
|
All participants
are encouraged to pre-register in order to
ensure they have a spot in the regatta. If
people register after all places are filled,
they may be waitlisted. Registration will be
available the morning of the regatta if there
are boats still available.
To pre-register,
email Paul Townsend,
Racing Chair, with your name, and also the
name of your sailing partner. If
you register without a partner, you should
let Paul know your preference as to being
skipper, co-skipper, or crew, and you will be
added to a list of those with partners
needed. Once a team is registered, they can
choose a sail and hull number to reserve. If
no sail or hull is selected by race day, they
will be assigned one.
Check here for the list of everyone registered.
