There are a bunch of major Vanguard 15 regattas coming up on the east coast - register online today:
*Nationals: July 10-11 at SailNewport*. The defending national champs are registered and we should have over 50 boats on the line. Register online ASAP to help event organizers nail down the final details. http://www.sailnewport.org/npt/m/_general/coastallivingnewportregatta.asp -- inexpensive charter boats available through RITRA: http://www.ritra.org/charters7.html *Larchmont Race Week: July 17-18 at Larchmont YC*: usually 25-35 boats and a more low key event than some of the other fleet racing regattas if you're new to the class. *Free charter boats available* (e-mail me for details). Register online at http://www.yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=392 -- if you're doing the *LYC Team Race (July 24-25)*, you can leave your boat at LYC for the week. E-mail John Baxter for details about the team race -- [email protected] *Buzzards Bay Regatta: Aug. 6-8*: this may be the last year that BBR is a 3-day regatta for V15s as event organizers are talking about switching to a two-day format for 2011. In the meantime, enjoy the big wind and cool waters and sign up online at http://www.buzzardsbayregatta.com/ *Atlantic Coast Champs: Aug. 21-22 on the Great South Bay (Narrasketuck YC) *. If you missed the 2009 Nationals and the gorgeous weather, here's a chance to sail in more big breeze on one of the east coast's best bodies of water. This is NYC's first major V15 regatta so we should all support the event: https://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_club_events.php?CLUB_ID=498# Reminder for Nationals and ACCs: you need to be a 2010 class member. Join the V15 class for just $15 at http://www.v15.org/membership/index.html Going forward, we will be announcing Nationals hosting venues at least one year in advance. We already have a host for the 2011 Nationals (Southern YC, New Orleans), are looking for a host for the 2012 Nationals and have a frontrunner for the 2013 Nationals (Chicago), so even though this is the third year in a row we'll have had a east coast Nationals, it'll start being moved around again very soon. In the meantime, if you're on the east coast, make sure not to miss Newport next weekend since it won't be around again for a while.
