Posted by: _tabband _ (mailto:mike@ferrings.com?subject=Re:%20Register%20for%20the%20Birthday%20Regatta!) Christmas. Check. New Year's Eve. Thursday. Check. AYC Birthday Regatta. Two weeks. Two weeks?! Yup. Time to register! http://arizonayachtclub.org/ayc-bdrSail for three days, two days, or just one. http://arizonayachtclub.org/ayc-bdrThis AYC Birthday Regatta will be formatted like recent years, but with this pleasant change: Dillon's Restaurant has taken over the Saturday dinner space and will upgrade the room, the food, and the presentation. Friday brings the Friday Fracas, a one-day event for most, but for the Viper 640 fleet (and any other that elects to do it), the first day of a three-day regatta. Friday night is on your own. If it can be arranged, you may receive a discount for Dillon's Friday night. Saturday morning the Lake Pleasant Sailing Club will offer breakfast, with profits donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Saturday racing comes in several parts: day two of the three-day regatta for Vipers; a TransLoch cruising fun race; day one of the Saturday-Sunday regatta for most fleets; and the Leukemia Cup, for entrants in a one-day competition that runs concurrently with everything else and benefits LLS. Saturday night will be the Leukemia Cup auction and Jo Grijalva reports that among the prizes, they've lined up four spectacular auction trips. She says you may want to line up friends to help bid on these, since they're each for 4-6 people. Here they are: Two 9-day trips with a Captain and personal concierge service in the British Virgin Islands. Both trips must be taken between October 7 and November 25, 2016. Captain would like the trips scheduled close together so he doesn’ t have to fly there twice. Each trip will accommodate 2-6 people in three staterooms. The vessel is a 2012 Lagoon 421, offered by Sail Fast LLC. One six-day and one three-day crewed charter in the San Juan islands that includes everything but your alcohol. The offer is for four people, but will accommodate up to six (with each additional person paying an additional one-quarter of the amount of the winning bid). Offered by NW Sailing Adventures. Happy New Year! Mike
