Competitors,
We had hoped to post class assignments and starting times this week. However, before we can finalize them, we must receive all ORC Rating Certificates from US Sailing.
If you have not yet received your ORC Rating Certificate, please do not contact US Sailing unless they reach out to you directly. They are continuing to process certificates, and additional inquiries may slow the process. Once you receive your test certificate, please review it carefully and respond promptly with your approval and payment so your final certificate can be issued without delay.
Please note that the first warning signal is scheduled for 11:20 a.m. on Saturday, July 18, 2026. Starts will follow at 10-minute intervals, weather permitting.
As in previous years, classes are expected to start in the following order:
- Double-handed classÂ
- Monohull classes, from slowest to fastestÂ
- Multihull classÂ
We anticipate posting class assignments and starting times next week. As soon as they are available, we will send an email notification to all competitors.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you on the starting line!
