It is time to start making your plans for the Champions Regatta in Charleston SC.
March 14-15, 2020 is the date for the regatta and it will be sailed at it’s forever location at James Island County Park in Charleston, SC.
If you are in BOLD RED below, you may enter now: https://form.jotform.com/200196770873966 Don't forget to note your shirt size. The default is SMALL.
This is an Invitation Only Regatta. Skippers had to qualify in one of the four groups or be invited by the committee because of their past performances in other regattas such as the NCR.
The NOR and SI have been emailed. Dave Branning will be the RD again for this year’s event and he is bringing a team to keep score and help run the regatta. There is usually a gathering for dinner on Friday night. Most skippers arrive on Friday and practice sail before meeting up later that evening. A Saturday dinner will also be planned and more info on that location will follow.
This venue has 10 Cottages for up to 8 people each to stay in. They sell out very quickly. You should try to book one now. https://www.ccprc.com/1435/The-Cottages this link will take you to the site.
Here is the list of Top Ten skippers from each group. The Top Five plus the defending champion are invited to compete. If one or more of the top five cannot attend, the next skippers in line are invited. For some of you below the top five, you have already made the cut. See below. We have already invited Peter Feldman who is the defending National Champion.
