Title: 2017 North Americans
Post by: William Mendel on October 22, 2016, 05:18:48 PM
Kansas comes from the Sioux Indian word for "south wind people." Perry Yacht Club located in the center of the 48 is excited to host the 2017 U20 North Americans. Mark you calendars. Commodore’s Cup open regatta: September 1, 2, 3, 2017, followed by the Ultimate 20 North American Championship: September 4, 5, 6, 2017. This format will provide you with up to 5 days of racing over an extended Labor Day weekend. Please let us know who is committed to come to by sending an email to kcmendel@aol.com (include skipper name and boat name). More to follow...

We are into a new year and I think Bill is going to treat us right for the National's with a bonus two day regatta leading into it. I will be there for both and rumor has it last years champ and another go fast west side boat have already commited. As soon as Bill puts the link out lets see if we can get this on line to be the largest NA's ever.

My plan is do both as well! Looking at bringing an RV and "camping" should be fun.

It time to get your 2017 U20 North American registration in. The attached form covers the U20 NA’s and the PYC Commodores Cup that directly precedes the NA’s. This is the correct form. The form on the PYC web site will be updated shortly. There have been some questions on bringing an RV. RV’s are welcome and there will be room for them at the U20 NA's. During the Commodores Cup, there will most likely not be room on the "Hill" or any electrical hook ups. If you are OK parking in the parking lot or other areas we should be able to accommodate you. Your other option would be to try and reserve a spot at one of the near buy State Parks for the Commodores Cup and then move over to the club for the NA's.

Note that we do not need money by these dates just the form or a note to kcmendel@aol.com with what you want.
Registration Dead Lines:
Commodores Cup:
August 5th for T Shirts
August 25st for Meals

U20 Nationals
August 4th for T Shirts
August 21st for Meals

Not sure what people's crew situations are, but I would consider flying out to crew if someone is looking for crew.  I can do either crew position.  Only interested in a boat with championship condition sails and in otherwise race-ready condition.

Private message me if you are needing crew...
