You are encouraged to register in advance to help us better
prepare for the regatta: email
Paul Townsend,
Racing Chair, to do so.
Registrations will be accepted on the morning of the regatta
until the start of the Skippers' Meeting.
There is no fee for this regatta; it's free!
We will collect an optional fee (~$10/person) at the skippers
meeting for lunch. Note that we do not have food or drink concessions, so
this is the only option to purchase lunch on-site.
Feel free to bring your own food and drinks if you
prefer.
Club members may reserve a boat in advance on a
first-come, first-served basis. There may be a waiting list if all boats are reserved.
Contact Fernando to reserve your boat, or use the sign-up sheet at the club.
Here is a list of
everyone who's currently registered.
