420/Rich Hall Regatta and Laser Regatta
Over the next two weekends, the EYC will be hosting the 420/Rich Hall Jr Regatta on Saturday, July 15th and Sunday, July 16th. The Laser Regatta will be held on Saturday, July 22nd and Sunday, July 23rd. Both of these regattas are open to all and competitors do not have to be EYC members. EYC members are eligible to use club boats and will be entered into the boat draw upon registration. The 420 Regatta will have two divisions under 18 (Rich Hall) and 18 over. For the Rich Hall Regatta, skippers must be at least 12 years old.
Registration is available online at this link EYC Racing and also on race day at the clubhouse. Please check the NOR for the schedules of the races.
Parents racing is a great way for sailors to use and improve their sailing, develop leadership skills and have a lot of fun. We hope you encourage and support your young sailors to participate.

It’s always a FriYAY at the EYC! Friday mornings the pop-up shop is open from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. come on down and get your EYC gear including t-shirts, hoodies, hats and totes. We are expecting the 2023 Regatta shirts for next week’s pop-up on 7/21.
