WVRCM Will Host Region 8 DF95 Championship

Estrella North Lake will be the site of the Region 8 DF95 Championship Regatta on February 5-7, 2027.

Our club will host this important regatta, with more than two dozen entrants expected. This is a step up from the last Travel Trophy regattas the club has hosted, drawing competitors from all over the West Coast.

Entry will open on December 1, but the race documents are available now. Here's the Notice of Race and the Sailing Instructions.
