We're Looking for New Nationals Regatta Venues

Do you have a "fleet" of 4 or 5 Bullseyes?  We are always looking for a new and interesting places to sail.  If you'd like to host a Nationals, we'd love to help you set it up.  We have lots of experienced sailors and committee members that can show you the ropes.  This isn't the America's Cup, but a bunch of folks who like to sail and have a good time.  Sometimes the après sail is more fun than the sail.

If you're interested in having your fleet host a Nationals contact the Association Secretary.
