Events Offered
Again, we will be limiting the number of entries to 21 per race. When a race is full you will be put on a waiting list. We will also be charging a scratch fee equal to the race fee for all races scratched after the scratch dead line, so make sure you pick your entries carefully.
The Junior A 1X and Junior A 8+ events will run at special times, regardless of how the weather affects the rest of the regatta. Details of the sessions of racing are given on the Event Schedule page.
