Lot’s of Fun… No Stress….. Lunches… Dinner…T Shirts… Great Prizes… Trophy

The third ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green Regatta’ takes place on Friday, August 8th, 2008 at Port Credit Yacht Club. This regatta is for Green level Optimist dinghies and prams. The idea is to provide a regatta for beginning sailors to give them an opportunity to try racing with other sailors at the same level. Thursday August 7th 2008 is our racing clinic for sailors and coaches. This will give these new racers excellent preparation day for the regatta on Friday. The clinic will be conducted by an experienced Optimist racing coach.

A beautiful trophy and individual awards have been generously donated by the Radonic family, members of PCYC. There will be awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for both boys and girls in Optimist and pram classes, a total of 12 awards. Winners will also receive PCYC racing flags.

We have planned a fun day with T-shirts, boat stickers, lots of draw prizes, and terrific barbeque lunches at PCYC and a pasta dinner, including dessert and juice, Thursday.

The Chief Racing Officer will talk to the kids before the race and there will be a debrief at the end of the day. There will be as many races as time and wind will allow so that the kids get lots of experience. There will be no protests from sailors, but the CRO  (Chief Racing Officer) can protest a competitor. A specific code of sailing etiquette will be explained by the CRO. We want this to be a positive experience for novice racers.

The cost is $70.00 with a $5.00 early bird discount ($65.00) for registrations for both days (Clinic and Regatta) and $35.00 ($30.00) for the regatta only if registration is submitted and paid for before August 1st..
