Coming Next August...VALUE For Your Hard-Earned Regatta $.

Delivering Value For The
Sailing Dollar:
Here in Sheboygan We’ve Been Obsessing About That.

Question:
 
“Hey your organizers of the 2014 NA’s, I’ve heard you’re only charging $299 for the NAs. Is this some bare bones bait and switch? How can it really be that cheap? What’s included with my entry fee? “
Answer:
We are SO glad you asked that. We are proud of the value we can offer even at this relatively low price point.

Included in the ‘Regular’ NA’s $299 entry fee:
-At least 2 kegs of free microbrew after each day of racing with daily SWAG raffles.
-Traditional “Sheboygan Brat Fry” dinner on Sunday evening
-Dinner on Tuesday
-3 tickets to the Awards Banquet at The Blue Harbor Resort on Friday evening
-2 “What Was Happening Out There?” debrief/coaching sessions led by Greg Fisher

Included in the $150 for the Masters and Women entry fee and the $50 Junior entry fee you get:
-1 keg of free microbrew after each day of racing (Sorry, Juniors don’t get this but they do get entered in the SWAG raffles)
-Mexican Fiesta dinner party on Saturday evening
- Traditional “Sheboygan Brat Fry” dinner on Sunday evening
-Greg Fisher will be on the water shooting video and observing on Friday and Saturday. He will lead a video debrief and coaching session each of those days after sailing. This service is being funded by a grant from SEAS (Sailing Education Association of Sheboygan)

Options:
•Extra tickets will be available for all of the events. If you have friends and family along who would like to join the fun they are most welcome.
•Sheboygan Yacht Club will also be open for dining on the nights when event dinners are not held. You are welcome to eat in the dining room and order off the regular menu (reservations appreciated.)
•There will also be a short order  grill operating every evening for those who want to hang out outside or under the tents.
 •The club will be offering a la carte breakfast items each morning.
 • Competitor lunches to take on the water will be available every day for $6. You may order these for every day of the regatta with your online registration, at on-site registration, or the evening before you would like them.
• One of the neatest things about Sheboygan is that it has a whole generation of new restaurants within walking distance of the club. You will want to try some on the off nights. In fact that's why we've PLANNED the off nights! Sheboygan is wired so that the local merchants are actually EXCITED when sailors come to compete. That's kinda nice...and its actually true. There will be information about these options in your registration packet.
• Last, but certainly not least,  the famous Sheboygan Yacht Club bar and the “Tiki” bar in the Club’s  brand new Lowell North Pavilion. You will enjoy getting to know Barb the bartender and our club manager Sean.
• Temporary club memberships will be available so you may charge food, drinks…bail. Unfortunately I just checked and SYC does not have any Underhills on the member roster.

Update:
We continue actively on the look-out for sponsorship funding. The plan is to use additional donations to add features to the offerings at the same price point. SOLID MIDWESTERN VALUE…THAT IS SHEBOYGAN. We may not be LA baby, but have you looked at the rack rate at the Beverly Hills Hotel?! Here the beverages are cold and inexpensive and consistently available. 

Subliminal message: 
100 boats.
