A minimum of 5 entries are required to race as a one-design class. If you want to be considered as a fleet for this regatta, please reach out to us.
The regatta format will be similar to past years. For each weekend, there will be 5 races over two days (3 Saturday, 2 Sunday). We will have some drinks and appetizers during check-in Friday night at the registration tent. Saturday night we are will have a social gathering at the new Lakeshore Resort party dock lakeside.
These past few years lodging and camping spots have been a challenge at the lake. While the USFS is making efforts to re-open sites that have been closed, we do anticipate not all
campgrounds will be open.
If you don’t find what you want right away, we suggest periodically checking for available reservations at www.recreation.gov.
Lakeshore Resort also has cabins, tent sites and slip rentals available. Check them out at
China Peak Landing has some slips available during the regatta weekends. Check them out at:
