We ask that crews register in advance so we have a good idea of the number of crews. If you are racing in a category other than "Open" you have a registration deadline of June 1, 2007 at 5:30 pm. If a category does not have three boats in it by that date, that category will not be available. We will have a race package available shortly, so please do check back with this website.
