Racing:

• Location: Check-in and race day info will be available in the Wayzata Community Sailing Center
• Parking: The Wayzata Yacht Club parking lot is available to us every sunday
• Dates: Sundays - Jan. 9-Feb. 27 (8 scheduled weeks)
  • Our permit allows lake use on Saturdays as well, so we may schedule fun races or reschedule canceled Sunday races on Saturdays.
• Times: First warning is at 11:00am each Sunday We recommend arriving around 9:30am, to get set up and have time to get to the race course.
• Registration: In order to compete, you must be a registered member of the Wayzata Yacht Club. A "Crew" membership is allowed, and is only $100. To register, follow this link: https://www.wyc.org/membership
• Waiver: Every competitor must also sign a liability waiver. Copies will be available each Sunday at the Wayzata Community Sailing Center (our Home Base)
• Safety Equipment Check (once per season): After registering with WYC and signing your waiver, you must show one of the Fleet Liaisons (myself or Matt Resch) that you have the following required equipment:
  • Helmet
  • Ice Picks (and string/cord to carry around neck)
  • Safety Leash - connecting your harness to the flag line on your bar
  • A functioning chicken loop on your kite bar, and knowledge of how to eject.
  • A jersey with a legible racing number - for scoring purposes

Looking forward to seeing you on the ice in a couple weeks!
