Wild Oyster Regatta

About this event

Please Join Fleet 429 in the 15th Annual Wild Oyster Regatta!

The NOR and registration is live on ClubSpot

Come early and participate in the FUNky Oyster on Friday afternoon! And see possible options for boat storage between Wrightsville NAs and the Wild Oyster... Details below.

 

One change this year which will be an exciting addition... Friday afternoon, rather than a formal practice race or clinic, we’re going to host an optional and separately scored race which we’re calling the FUNky Oyster. This will be a single race started from the club docks, and around a series of fixed government marks in the harbor, the order of which will be chosen to present sailors with a more diverse set of sailing angles and currents, and not simply windward/leeward racing. Additionally, teams are encouraged, though not required, to switch-up the in-boat roles from how they will race on Saturday/Sunday, with a crew member for the weekend skippering on Friday. We hope this will be a memorable and importantly fun style of race without the pressure associated with a typical regatta series and with a prize for all participants.

Lastly, the club is working on a offering a storage solution for boats that are racing in the Wrightsville NAs, and wanting to leave their boats in the south and we hope to have more information on that when we have something worked out. If interested in this option please touch base with Craig Bennett just so he can get a preliminary boat count. 

Sign up on this page is for planning and crew/boat finder purposes only. Please be sure to officially register per the NOR.
