Saturday July 9, 2011

We are pleased to announce that for 2011, we will once again join forces with the Niagara-on-the-Lake Sailing Club to plan an international regatta that will serve as the qualifier race for our NHRA National Championship Race. This event will take place the day after our cruise & clambake on Saturday, July 9th and will be followed by dinner and awards at the NOTL Sailing Club.

The Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta is a qualifier race for the National Hospice Regatta Alliance Championship. It is open to all yachts with a valid PHRF certificate, C&C-29's, J-22's, and Sharks. The National Hospice Regatta Alliance (NHRA), represents 27 organizations that host local sailing regattas to benefit hospices across the U.S. and Canada. The 2011 NHRA Regatta will be hosted by the Rochester Yacht Club (RYC) and will showcase the many local Hospice Regattas and celebrate their 2010 winners.

Finally, we would like to thank Robert MacLachlan (Niagara-on-the-Lake Sailing Club) along with Paul Hays (YYC) and his race committee for another great year of racing! If you would like additional information about this event please contact Paul Hays at paul.hays@paulhays.net or visit the YYC website at www.yyc.org for further details. A portion of the race fees will be donated to Niagara Hospice. Thanks to everyone who participated in last years' event! We hope to see you compete again in 2011!
