Can anybody give me a hint how/where to register for the Leukemia Cup? HYC's website links to the Regatta Network site but there's no entry for this event. However, I can sign up for the spectator boat and the kick-off party. I'm all on board with the fun etc., but let's have some racing, too!
On Regatta Network, when ever HYC gets around to publishing the event.
Still a month away though. They may be following most skippers lead of not signing up until the week of the event, before they publish the registration link. ::)
Registration just became available:

For your non-sailing friends and family who enjoy air conditioned comfort, the 100! foot long spectator boat will be available. $30 (I believe the money goes toward Leukemia Society). That's not a bad deal as it includes lunch, refreshments. If it's the same boat in prior years it is a nice ride. Then you can go lounge in the HYC pool afterwards... Sounds like a fun day at the yacht club!
Call HYC office for spectator boat tickets: 281-471-1255.
