Miscellaneous
Launching will be at the DLYC. Both competing E Scows and accompanying powerboats can be launched at the DLYC. E Scows will have priority for launching. DLYC will provide launching assistance.
We presently plan to permit both wet and dry sailing. We will supplement our pier space with a number of complementary moorings to use for rigging and lunch. Please feel free to use your own mooring equipment. We feel we can comfortably handle up to 35 boats in a dry sail format. However, in the event we have more than 35 boats, we may decide to wet sail the regatta. So, we ask that everyone be prepared to moor their yacht by bringing their mooring equipment. Water in the mooring area at the DLYC is approximately 6-15 feet deep with North to East exposure. Water taxi service to and from the moorings will be provided. Trailers will be parked in the DLYC parking lot.
