Enrollment will be capped at 16 students.

    The Commodores Cup will be held this coming Saturday and we are going to be changing it up for this race. We are introducing the 'Crew Scramble'! This is only applicable for the upcoming race.

    Any skippers wanting to race are welcome to sign up! Beginner racers strongly encouraged to sign up. We do not need pre-registration but we will need the number of crew you would like to have for the race. Skippers will stay with their boat. Alternatively skippers may request to crew if they would like to race on a different boat. 

    Calling all sailors - are you new to racing? Are you an experienced racer? Anyone interested in racing. Sign up to have your name added to the crew scramble. We will draw names and assign people to a boat on the day of the race. Pre-registration not required. 

    This crew scramble is intended for all of us to learn from one another, get on a different sailboat, teach each other tips and tricks for racing and trimming sails and just to interact with people aside from your usual, and most of all have fun in the Commodores Cup!

    *Skippers may request to keep specific crew if they are very new to sailing.

    Please contact Ken Ewald if there are any questions. 

    There will be Skipper's meeting at 11am to register and get instructions on the course.  The Race will start at 1:00pm.

    A social hour and awards "ceremony" will be just prior to Rib Fest, approx. 5pm on the deck.
