Breaking: Did we say T-shirt? Yes, we did. Well, maybe we left it out of the first draft but now we are saying it: with your registration you get a snazzy, cool T-shirt. Shirt, party, racing, food, drink.

Details for the Fall Classic are now available. The Notice of Race has the actual entry form for you to fill out and mail (with those stamp thingies). Registration is also at the race; there is a late fee, so don't wait.

Pre-registrations must be postmarked by October 15th. You may late-register at the race site before 10 a.m., October 20th. Any group of 5 boards may compete in a trophy group including (but not limited to):

Open Unlimited • Open 7.5 Limited • Sport (7.5 Ltd) • Kona • Formula

With enough entries, a Workshop Fleet may also be included. Within any of these, divisions (i.e. light-heavy, men-women, etc) with 5 or more entries may also be formed as trophy groups. Trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers in each division. Fleets, Classes and other divisions may be combined, created or deleted at the discretion of the registrar.

Competition Format– Course Racing and/or Long Distance. Courses may be modified to suit the classes entered and wind conditions. The courses will be illustrated in the Sailing Instructions, available at check-in. The Low Point scoring system will be used. As many races as conditions permit will be attempted. One race must be completed to constitute a series.
