Be here before you know it!🫡

UPDATES:

The website is going through some changes and updating.

• Rules/Info will have its own tab instead of being buried at the bottom of the Series pages.

• Upcoming event notifications will be on the Homepage, along with the schedules.

• More payment options. You will now be able to pay for the entire season. I am also working on a receipt system. Payments and memberships will still be on the Series page(s) you are signing up for—same for the Open tournaments.

• Working on 2027 Series sponsors. Sponsors will still be featured on the Homepage, plus there will be a Sponsor tab that has additional info: links, contact info, etc. for our sponsors. (If anyone would like to be a 2027 sponsor, please reach out to me. Currently looking to fill several spots.)

• The FX Records tab will be revamped.

• Registrations for Open tournaments will be open and on-going. Boat positions for Open tournaments will remain by order of entry. Registration for the Open tournaments will go live this evening.

*All regattas for the 2027 tournaments listed on the schedule, including the Eberlin’s Customer Appreciation tournament, have been approved. I’m currently trying to work out 1-2 more Solo tournaments. These will be stand alone open events.
