PLEASE NOTE
You must register for all cruising events other than the Sunday and Wednesday open sails which are open to all members on a first come first serve basis after checking in with the Dockmaster. The number of registrants for all other events will be based on the number of cruisers planning on participating in the events. Again this is based on skipper availability. Early registrants will have priority. It is our sincere desire to be able to accommodate all those who will want to attend at least one of the above events, however it is not guaranteed.
