NOOD REGATTA - F18 PNW Regional Championships

March is here and Flights of Spring, the first F18 regatta of the season is only one month away and followed by the NOOD Regatta in May! Racing for the F18s take place May 16-17th, 2009.

As of February we had 8 teams get back to me that they would like to race in the event and the consensus is that we would race only 2 days – Saturday and Sunday (along with all the dinghies). I think we will most likely have 12-15 boats on the line come race day...

As of March 1, the online registration is up for the Seattle NOOD with registration and all regatta information at:

www.sailingworld.com
Then click: NOOD Regattas
Then click: Seattle under the list of locations
Under the Seattle Info Center you will see Online Registration

Sailing World will be adding more information on the Info Center over the next few weeks. The Notice of Race is located on the Regatta Info Center; please read over to answer any questions you may have. If you have any other questions please email me!! I will also be working with Sailing World to secure the same storage location that we had last year.

Class formation deadline is May 4th; each class needs a minimum of six boats for a class to remain eligible to race. The late fee starts May 4th at 5pm EST. Please keep this is mind when sending registration by fax or mail.

The last day to receive a refund or cancel your entry is May 11th.

I will update everyone as soon as I know more.

Cheers,
