WEDNESDAY NIGHT RACING
≈ Call early ≈
If you want a boat, please call before Tuesday or it could be likely we will have to give you a Cal 24 or a Santana22. This time of year we usually use all 8 merits.
If you want to be crew, there are sometimes last minute spots available, but when too many racers call on Wednesday, there is a good chance that demand will outstrip supply. We need to arrange for skippers and boats in advance.
Be sure to Sign up early to get your own boat, or be part of a crew. Be here by 5:15pm or earlier to ensure you don't miss the boat. There is a BBQ and drinks afterward at the Sequoia Yacht Club.
