REGATTAS THIS SEASON

Parents thinking of attending regattas this season need to do three things before the event:

1) Ask your sailor's coach if he or she is ready to race. If so, which division (i.e. Green, Red, White, Blue).

2) Register for the event under the regatta's website (listed below). You will need to know your sailor's sail number. [sailors must sign up with USODA ($25 fee) for all USODA events first].

3) Let LYC know once you're registered by filling in the regatta spreadsheet on the Regatta & Clinics page of the blog.
