The UMSC invites you

throw-out. The courses will be Gold Cup (triangle windward

We will allow co-skippering.

Registration |
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 be collecting a small 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.
Camping is available on site for participants.
Club members may reserve a boat in advance on a
first-come, first-served basis. The club has only twelve JY-15s,
so there may be a waiting list if all boats are reserved.
Contact Paul to reserve your boat, or use the sign-up sheet at the club.

Prizes will be awarded to the top five skippers and crews.
We'll also be giving away many fun prizes to other sailors.
