2025 Spring Regatta
Lake Yosemite Sailing Association would like to invite you to LYSA's 26th Annual Regatta. This two day event will consist of a total of four or more races (wind allowing), with three or more races on Saturday and the remainder on Sunday. There will be a meeting for all skippers at 10 am Saturday on the Clubhouse patio. The first warning horn will be at 11 am Saturday and Sunday. Trophies will be presented on Sunday after the last race.
The scoring will be the low-point system. All races will be sailed under current U.S. Racing Rules of Sailing and the Sailing Instructions. This Regatta is open to centerboards, keelboats, and multihulls.
Non-one-design keel will race under NorCal PHRF time-on-time and non-one-design centerboards/multi-hulls under RYA Portsmouth. Fleets will be decided by entries received by April 30. Five boats or more will constitute a one design fleet.
Pre-registration deadline is April 30, 2025. Skippers may also register on Saturday, May 17, beginning at 9 am at the registration table. Course sheets and sailing instructions will also be provided in the race packet at the registration table. Sailing Instructions and Course Sheets will be posted on our website by May 10.
We have a wide launch ramp with long floating fingers on both sides. There are a limited number of slips for use over the weekend. Inquire at the Clubhouse. Boats may be stored on trailers in the parking lot overnight. You may camp in your RV at the Club parking lot or set up a tent on the Clubhouse lawn. No hookups are available. Security will be provided on Friday and Saturday nights for boats and trailers in the parking lot. Pets are not allowed in the park. Camping is free.
Lunch on Saturday is available. Dinner is scheduled for Saturday evening at the Clubhouse; tickets may be purchased with your pre-registration or at the registration table on Saturday. We strongly encourage and appreciate pre-registration; it will help with planning for dinner on Saturday.
