Come join the NCYC Jr. Travel team to one of our local events. NCYC will be traveling to Pettipaug Yacht Club in Essex on Saturday August 2nd. Traveling to an event includes packing up boats to bring to Essex. A travel regatta is an ALL DAY event. Parents should help pack up boats on Friday August 1st at 3:30. Parents will need to transport rudders and daggerboards to the event.

$20 covers coaching fees to North Cove. We will have three coaches attending the event. One coach will be on each of the courses sailed. Coaches will help set up boats the morning of August 2nd, provide on the water safety and coaching, then help pack up boats to return to North Cove.

Parents are encouraged to stay and watch the races. Pettipaug has a great waterfront view of the sailing. Their lawn is perfect to bring chairs and blankets and set up for a picnic lunch. If there is inclement weather, parents may be needed on shore to quickly pack up and leave early.

There are three groups racing at Pettipaug, 420s, Intermediate Optis (RWB), and Beginner Optis (Green fleet). Use this link to register with Pettipaug for the event https://theclubspot.com/regatta/aXMeZWE0Iu

When registering with Pettipaug, “TBD” can be filled in for sail number and boat name. 420s are registered as a team. The skipper’s parents begin the registration, then the parents are the crew will be sent a link to finish the registration. First, second, and third place teams are awarded. Optis are registered individually. Ages 10 and under are the WHITE fleet, Ages 11-12 are the BLUE fleet, Ages 13-16 are the RED fleet. First, second, and third place are awarded in each fleet. If this is your very first regatta, you should register for the GREEN fleet which is the beginner fleet. In the GREEN fleet all sailors are awarded and no scores are calculated.
