Howdy you all, FYI we have opened registration for the 14th Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta at HYC on REGATTA NETWORK. The NOR is available at http://www.houstonyachtclub.com/documents/2012_LCR_NOR.pdf (http://www.houstonyachtclub.com/documents/2012_LCR_NOR.pdf). We've incorporated y'all's feedback from the Elissa Regatta and have made some minor changes to the three lines (if your class is not listed below, please advise - we'll add it). There may be some minor tweaking to these lines depending on registration volume, but for now the plan is:
DINGHY LINE
Club 420
Lightning
Optimist
ONE DESIGN LINE
A-Cat
J/22
J/24
J/80
Ensign
Viper
CRUISING LINE
PHRF Spinnaker
PHRF Non-Spinnaker
J/105
J/109
Don't forget, if you want to leave your boat at our club the week before and the week after the regatta you are welcome to do so at no charge (please notify the Harbormaster harbormaster@houstonyachtclub.com of your intent). We hope everyone enjoys a fantastic weekend of sailboat racing on Galveston Bay while supporting the Leukemia Cup!
This is a great opportunity for all of us to contribute to Leukemia Research. I know HYC will do a great job running the races so why not sign up?
Is there a date for the kickoff party?
*bump*
This weekend!
Great cause.
Buy some merch. Bring your boat up for the weekend.
Or take the land yacht and enjoy a day at HYC. Bring a swimsuit, order a drink or three and frolic in the pool (http://youtu.be/xEJICxdi6nE).
Bid in the silent auction (maybe this is the year I'll finally have the winning bid for the electric guitar)
For $30, you can get your non racing friends/family on a very large (100 feet), very comfortable air conditioned spectator boat. RSVP spectator boat tickets through HYC at 281.471.1255. Spectator boat includes lunch and refreshments.
Oh, and go sailboat racing!

You will get no argument from the owner of the only one that entered.
