TASS (Texas Association of Social Sailors) would like to cordially invite all woman skippers to this year's Carol Becker Woman's Regatta on September 28.
The Regatta derives its name from the former TASS member and avid woman sailor Carol Becker who tragically lost her life in a boating accident in 1995. The Cup was a Deed of Gift to TASS in 1996 in recognition of the Woman at the Helm sailor exhibiting excellence in sportsmanship and proficient sailing skills in accordance to the TASS Race sailing rules set forth in this document.
Notice of Race (NOR) can be found here (https://sailtass.com/resources/Event%20Flyers/Carol%20Becker%20Race%202019/TASS%20Carol%20Becker%20Race%20-%20Notice%20of%20Race%20(Rev4).pdf (https://sailtass.com/resources/Event%20Flyers/Carol%20Becker%20Race%202019/TASS%20Carol%20Becker%20Race%20-%20Notice%20of%20Race%20(Rev4).pdf)), and registration here (https://www.sailtass.com/event-3325859 (https://www.sailtass.com/event-3325859))
- Note this is a woman at the helm race, e.g. crew can be co-ed, as long as a woman is helming from preparation to start to the finish line.
- Any woman sailor, not just TASS members (as was the case in past years), can be the winners of the perpetual trophy.
- The race is set up for two classes, PHRF Non-Spinnaker, and Club Rating Non-Spinnaker. However, if we get at least three boats together for another class, we have the option to do so. Anyone interested should contact me (vicecommodore@sailtass.com) or John Klumb, TASS Race Czar (regatta@sailtass.com).
