2011 National Championships

This year, most US Sailing ladder events do not require a MAYRA – level elimination round. Due to limitations on the number of available borrowed boats, MAYRA is eligible to enter one team for this event. Therefore, eligible triple handed teams should contact MAYRA National Cups director Mark Penny mrkpnny@aim.com by midnight on July 10 and indicate interest in competing. Based on the number of entrants from other YRAs in Area C, it is possible that an additional slot may open.

The Area C Sears (triple handed), Bemis (double handed) and Smythe (singlehanded) will be hosted by the NJYRA and Shrewsbury Sailing & Yacht Club in Oceanport, NJ on July16, 2011. Entry for Bemis and Smythe is open to all eligible competitors. Entries forms must be submitted by July 9. Contestants are highly encouraged to utilize the online registration link on the USSailing Site. The NOR and SI’s are posted there.

The annual Midget Championship (which is not a US Sailing event) will be held early this year on August 20-21 at Wadawanuck YC and Stonington Harbor Foundation in Stonington Harbor Connecticut. Two MAYRA teams may entry the finals in both the singlehanded (Optimist) and double handed (C420) divisions. The MAYRA qualification event for the singlehanded midget will be the Junior Invitational regatta held at Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May on August 4, 2010. The top two finishers overall in the Optimist fleet will qualify to advance to the finals.
For the double handed division, eligible teams should contact Mark Penny by midnight on August 12 to indicate interest in competing. If more than two teams indicate interest, a qualifying process will be arranged.
