Need an outlet for your racing energy this winter? Headed back from KWRW? Then pack up your sailing gear and head down to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras Regatta 2009.
The New Orleans Yacht Club requests your presence for a weekend of bead tossing, hard core racing…and oh yeah-three days of partying New Orleans style.
With Mardi Gras culminating on Fat Tuesday, February 24, 2009, the best sailors will just not let the party end and will roll through their hangovers and rock the next weekend for some monster one-design sailing on February 27-28.
OD Classes expected:
- Finns (over 40 boats already committed)
- MOTHs (CA Moth Class)
- Melges
- J/30, J/22 & J/24
- Vanguard
- Laser
- Lightning
- Flying Scot (GYA Capdeville)
- Fish
Six boats will constitute a class, with daily and overall prizes awarded. Free keg of beer after each day of racing, live music nightly, Gumbo cook-off, beads, broads and mor
e booze. Evening activities are planned for you to get the true “Mardi Gras” experience (in case you can’t make the real thing which is only three days before the races start). We welcome all classes of one design boats to participate in this regatta, so contact your friends and fellow sailors, shovel off the snow (for you Northern Snow Birds) and spend a week with us in New Orleans! A good day in the Deep South can be as high as 65 degrees! Too far to trailer a boat but just can’t miss the fun? Give us a call and we’ll do our best to find you boat to charter for the weekend.
