PPYC is hosting a one-day regatta on Saturday, June 24, 2023, named the “Double-Double Regatta”. Why is it called the “Double-Double”?

 

One reason is because boats are limited to two crew members, namely, the skipper and one crew member. “Double Handed

 

They are set up to be less stressful than most regattas held by PPYC.  A staggered start based on rating is used.  No playing bumper boats at the start line!  The distance racing format in intended to encourage skippers who are more interested in having an enjoyable fast sail around the lake without the high stress of crowded mark roundings. “Double Fun!”

 

 

If anyone has an interest in sailing, let us know and we will try to place you on a boat.  Alternatively, we can always use volunteers to help manage the races.  This will give you a good opportunity to experience what PPYC membership and participation is all about.

 

It is important to note that this regatta coincides with the PPYC Luau that evening.  The racing will be in the afternoon, finishing in time to get ready for the Luau. The awards ceremony will be prior to dinner.  If you haven’t been to a PPYC Luau before, you don’t want to miss it!

Important note - Luau Registration is separate from Regatta Registration!
