From Regatta Chair:
- Send me an email if you change any of your registration data prior to the closing of the registration. Unfortunately, the software makes it extremely difficult to track changes. You get bonus appreciation from me if you actually put the change in the email subject.
- Moorage assignments will be sent to you sometime in the week prior to the race by the Operations Manager at Nanaimo Yacht Club for the Saturday night. Email:operationsmanager@nanaimoyc.ca
- Please email WVYC Rear Commodore, Nancy Hoyem, for those that request pre race and/or post race moorage at WVYC. Note that every effort will be made to accomodate all vessels in secure moorage, however moorage is limited and therefore not guaranteed. Please monitor your emails and check spam folers as necessary. RearCommodore@WVYC.ca
