Regattas Promote Fun and Camaraderie
TYC's
infamous "Over-the-Bottom" rallies date back to the early
20s on Lake Tahoe. While early power boat regattas were purely a
test of speed, today participants don’t have to break any speed
records; rather they navigate a preset course at a specified speed,
and a "poker rally" is thrown in for added suspense.
Summer
2007 OTB Schedule:
- Regatta

Participants
are given a prescribed course and very specific instructions to
follow, including direction, speed, and timing. At each stop, the
captain of the boat picks up a poker card, which he or she turns
in at the finish. The team that has followed the directions carefully
and has a winning hand will take the trophy.
