Guidance For New Sailors
We welcome those competing in their first ever regatta. To help you understand the event better:
Saturday boats typically rig at 0900, attend the competitors meeting at 0930, leave the dock 1020.
Sunday boats typically rig at 0845, leave the dock 0920.
These times are approximate – each boat is individually responsible for getting to the race course on time.
Check in at the signal boat at the race course. Inform one of the official boats on the water if you leave the race course early.
Bring your own lunch, fluids and sunscreen. We stay on the water all day.
On Sunday afternoon, gather in the clubhouse for the awards.
There are no organized meals. The Galley is open as usual.
Late Sunday afternoon, there is an unrelated party happening in the Sail Training Pavilion – this is not part of the regatta.
