Our Regatta Weekend will include One Design and PHRF buoy racing on Saturday and a pursuit race on Sunday. We will have post-race dinners and live music both evenings. The Marina is offering free overnight berthing, and we have arranged special pricing at the hotel in the Marina. We have a convenient launch ramp and also crane launching available from the boat yard. This event is scheduled for a high-water weekend.<br>

I imagine that you are familiar with the Special Olympics, but here is an overview of their program. Special Olympics Northern California is a free year-round sports training and competition program for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. There are 16,760 athletes who compete in 160 competitions throughout the region in 11 sports. Included in that figure are 6,500 special education student-athletes who have Special Olympics in the classroom through our Schools Partnership Program. Special Olympics requires the extraordinary support and time of 14,860 volunteers and volunteer coaches. Financial support comes almost exclusively from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations.
