The 48th almost annual Lake Chelan Sailing Regatta, organized by the Lake
Chelan Sailing Association, will take place on September 11 & 12, 2021.
This event is open to all sailboats and sailors of all skill levels. Classes will
include one design and Portsmouth.
Registration will be available starting at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.
The skipper’s meeting will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday with the first race
starting at 11:00 a.m. No starts will occur after 4:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Saturday Evening there will not be a dinner party but everyone is invited to come
out to the Nut Farm for byob and socializing. Bring your instruments! Don’t miss
the party!
Racing will resume on Sunday with the first race at 10:00 a.m., no races will start
after 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. (We try to make it easy on the road warriors).
The plan is to sail at least three races on Saturday and at least two on Sunday
but plans are subject to change by consensus or mutiny. Conditions may range
from drifter to hurricane and once in a while something in between.
This is a fun event and is not a points race for most classes, protests are
discouraged but friendly conversation or water balloons at ten paces to help
educate less experienced sailors is welcomed. All sailors are required to comply
with Washington State Boating Law and the event is conducted following most of
the United States Sailing Association Rules of Racing or at least the few that we
know about.
