Cick on board before the 18th and save $10
The weather is shaping up perfect.
Register by Sunday and avoid the $10 late fee or register later and support sailing at the OSYC.
Order an additional Tshirt by Wednesday and have it by Saturday.
Gonna be fun!
The South Carolina contingent got stack and ready yesterday!
Should be epic, I'm sure this is the most Pre-Registered entries they have had in a long time with 35 already registered. There are always those who either dislike doing anything in advance or online or simply can't figure it out. 👿 So I'm sure there will be more registrations on site.

There are 2 of us from Texas coming over on Thursday Afternoon. Is it ok to rig up the boats and leave them for a couple of days before the regatta? What is the trailer storage situation?
Thanks,
Ernie
Ernie,
Yes, I'll be there Thursday as well, probably arrive Wednesday night and rig Thursday to try an get in some local sailing practice.
There are designated areas for trailers backed in along the street and several rows of tie downs on the beach. There are "lanes" for access to the beach and it's important to try not to block these.

Team SC plans to arrive by cover of darkness Thursday.

For Ernie and anyone else that hasn't been to OSYC, here is the layout.

Ernie, Absolutely come early, and we can use the property across the street from the club, up the hill to store trailers as the beach area fills up. Just leave room at the beach front road, as it will be needed over the course of the weekend. for parking. Looking forward to having some of the TCDYC sailors at our place and looks like it is shaping up for a great weekend of sailing and fun!!

I'm stoked! Headed down thurs night, should be there about midnight to drop off boat. Amazing turnout it looks like - hopefully we can repeat it for Island Hop over the July 4th weekend 😀 The forecast looks great too, hopefully this will entice a few more sailors to sign up! Lets set some records!
Boats on the beach with mast up! Although still on the trailer. 😀
Weather is just wonderful. Can't wait to see everyone rolling in over the next couple of days.

i should be rolling in there around lunch time on friday
A calm sea never made a skilled sailor !
Looks like about 50 boats!! What great people I've met today, this is gonna be THE regatta. The weather is perfect! Sailed around deer island today in what seemed like no time. The water is very very shallow within 100+ yards of the beaches; less than 3' for sure. Watch out! I hope everyone gets some great pics!
