Sign up for Mark Boat!

We might need some help setting the marks this year! Those marks just start to take over after a while.

What we need is for each boat to take on the responsibility to help with the marks for one Wednesday over the summer. About 2 people is all that is needed.

What will you do? Simple really: Get there early, inflate the marks, load marks and anchors on the boat, and then meet teh RC on the course.

Start by Signing Up!

If you have your own runabout that you want to use, sign up to provide the mark boat. If you can only crew, sign up to crew.

Sign up for mark boat Here!

We'll send an email with the specifics soon before your date.

We still need someone for 5/4. If you boat is not ready yet, sign up for this coming week and you're set!

Sailing Instructions are ready

The Sailing Instructions are ready!

You can download them >here<

What new? Well you know about the three seasons. We are also adding a new mark. Check it out on the chart.

NOR amendment

 Oh my! There is an amendment!

Check it out >here<

What do these changes mean to you? 
These are subtle changes, so remain calm. The WNR Steering committee decided that they would like to change how the throwouts work and encourage people to participate throughout the year. They also thought people might like to have some shorter series to allow for more awards.


What are we adding? 
We are breaking the season into three series (spring, summer, and fall). Each is about 7 races long. Yes, there is an extra week in the fall. Yes, August 10th doesn’t count because it is the guest skipper night.

How do the throwouts work? 
There is one throwout per series. We almost never have more than 3 throwouts, so this is just a change in where you will see them show up.

Will there be trophies for Series winners? 
Yes, probably. This is a test to see how it works and if people like the concept. More trophies are fun, so we’ll add something using our catch-all “Additional prizes may be awarded at the discretion…”.
