  Want to participate but don't have a sailboat?

The Nevada Yacht Club will attempt to accommodate all participation requests, however, the number of available non-crew member spots is based on the number of spots offered by participating skippers.

  B.Y.O.B. & FOOD

  This is a "bring-your-own-beer" event. If you choose to drink, please do so responsibly. Each Skipper has the final say in what happens on their vessel. Please be respectful.  AND PLEASE bring food to share with your 4-5 boat mates.
