Important Event Introduction: The purpose of this event is to run a fun event for youth sailors in a more loosely competitive style, in dynamic youth boats. The Race Committee does keep track of results, and we emphasize having a good time sailing. It is our goal that the sailors improve their skills, make new friends, exhibit first-class sportsmanship, and have a ton of fun. This event will be a combination of “conventional” style race formats with unconventional “Un-Regatta” style courses and events. Capsizes, boat handling challenges, speed, and fun will be required.
