WE STILL NEED A FEW VOLUNTEERS to drive safety boats and tow boats, and to serve on mark boats and other race committee boats. If you would like to volunteer please contact [email protected]
We are trying to get as many BOATS ON THE LINE as possible. If you know a person with a Flying Scot who will not be racing it in the Ephraim Regatta and may be willing to loan it to a responsible, out-of-town Flying Scot skipper, please contact Ephraim Regatta Co-Chair Nancy Claypool [email protected] or (504) 593-0875.
