Hi everyone,

Here is the final roster for who will be going to North Regionals this weekend, Sep. 27-28:

Adrianna, Ajax, Atticus, Avery, Bella, Dawson, Dima, Dylan, Dora, Emmett, Errol, Finn, Hans, Hazel, James, Johnathan, Linnea, Nusret, Macy, Marin, Max D, Max W, Nathan, Patrick, Sawyer, Sotiri, Tristan, and Tyce! (28 sailors!!)

Parking/Carpools:
Due to our overlap with SeaFeast, parking will be extremely limited, especially in the afternoon. See the parking map below for more details. Sailors and families please carpool if you can! Sailors can drive themselves and others to home events (just like practice).

Sailors should bring:
  1. Sailing gear: PFD, wetsuit, quick-dry clothes, spare layers, extra socks, etc.
  2. $5-10 for food: $5 each day will cover breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the day.
  3. Ready-to-sail attitude and learning mindset!
Parents wanting to watch should bring rain gear, a folding chair and a blanket. We have three tents we will be using to protect from rain and sun.

Notice of Race(NOR)
All sailors and parents in attendance should read through it so you know what is up.

Team Food:
Squalicum parents Lorena (cc'd) is leading food, with Jayna and Andy assisting on Saturday. They are organizing team breakfast, lunch, and snacks both days, which will amount to around $5 per sailor per day. Any scholarshipped sailors are not required to pay this fee, but it helps cover costs of group food. 

Cost:
$5/day or $10/weekend for food. Since this is our first home event, we are not charging a registration fee to Whatcom sailors. Visiting teams will be paying $10/sailor registration fee to help cover the costs of hosting the regatta.

Schedule:
Saturday, Sep. 27th
9:00am Whatcom Sailing Team report time: Arrive at Zuanich and prep boats to tow
9:30am Tow boats to Gate 5 (Saturday's rotation dock) in Squalicum Harbor

Please let me know if you have any questions! I know this is the first regatta of the season for a lot of sailors, so no question is a bad one.


Best,
Anna
