Lake Monroe Sailing Association is hosting a regatta on April 12 – 14th. All lady Sunfish sailors are strongly encouraged to come race. Also, if anyone is interested in driving or crewing, there is a possibility of that as well. A pub crawl is planned for Friday night in support of the local Sanford businesses. The ladies race on Saturday with a dinner and raffle to follow. All proceeds go to the charity The Lifeboat Project, which is an organization that helps rehabilitate human trafficking victims.

Please spread the word and be a part of a great turnout to generate lots of support for a great charity.

2019 IRYC Dragon Point Sailing Instructions
Just in time for Saturday’s co-ed races.
J/24 Fleet 87’s annual regatta, which is normally held in October at Dragon Point, will instead be held this year on July 20th and 21st.
Please see the event page for the NOR, a link for online registration, and the schedule of events.
This event precedes Round 5 at Sarasota by 1 week to enable distance travelers to sail events on adjacent weekends for convenience and utility.
Blue skies, warm water, outstanding venues, great racing awaits you! See you soon!
IRYC Fleet Captain Mike Nulf has announced that the Dragon Point racing for 2019 will be split into three series, Winter, Summer and Fall. In conjunction with this change, series scoring will incorporate low score throw-outs to better accommodate boats that miss a single event during the series.
Previously announced race dates remain mostly unchanged, however an additional date has been added in October for both the Co-Ed and then Women’s fleet as the regularly scheduled Fleet 87 regatta was moved to July this year. The Women’s series race schedule for July will also likely be rescheduled pending review.
2019 IRYC Dragon Point Registration Form is now available. Fill it out and drop it off at the RC boat during January’s event or risk not being scored.
