Formal Regattas
In addition to our usual racing, we hold several formal regattas during the sailing season where we keep score and award prizes for the top finishers. The Laser Regattas are open to our members and owners of class legal Lasers (Intensity rigging allowed). The Rookie regatta is open to Michigan Sailing Club members only. The Dan Rice and the Bonechiller regattas are open to all classes of sailboats 20′ or less in length. Club membership is not required but club boats are reserved for club members.
