| This
year’s TYC weekend events include four fun restaurant regattas as well as the famous Trans Tahoe Regatta.
Restaurant
Regatta Series
The Sunnyside Regatta will be held on Friday, June 26, 2009 (6pm start). The
Gar Woods regatta will be held off the shores of Gar Woods in Carnelian
Bay on Saturday July 18, 2009 (3pm start). The Jake's Regatta will be held on the Tahoe City waterfront on Friday, July 31, 2009 (6pm start); and finally, the Chambers Landing
Regatta will be held on August
22, 2009 (3pm start), of course, off Chambers Landing. See the notice of race here.
Each event will
have three races with the warning signal at either 3:00 pm (for Saturday races) or 6:00 pm (for Friday races).
Hosting the
four events in venues outside of Tahoe City give the boats that
live outside of town a chance to compete close to home. Post-event
parties at each restaurant are fun and well-attended. The locals
all know that Sunnyside, Jake's, Chambers and Gar Woods have some of the
best food and drinks on the North and West Shores! This summer,
if you have friends or family that can’t make the crew list,
send them to the restaurant to watch the races.
The club has
made a true commitment to the boats of yesteryear that have a tough
time competing head to head with the sport boats of the new millenium.
There are three separate PHRF divisions (get more information on the divisions on the Sailing Instructions page). There are event and
series awards for all divisions. In an attempt to further level the
playing field, the format for this series will be reverse start meaning the boat with the highest PHRF rating starts first and the boat with the lowest PHRF rating will start last. This means that the boat that is first to finish wins, second boat will be second place, etc. It's a fun twist to PHRF racing!
These
races, in addition to the Trans Tahoe Regatta
provide for a full season of weekend racing on Lake Tahoe.
Note: The Womens Skipper Regatta and Short-Handed Regattas will not take place this season.
