McDougall Open Regatta Oct 12-13

Note: The NOR has an incorrect price for online and on site registration. It was printed and posted before Jeff Sonsino added lunches and t-shirts. The on line price of $40.00 is correct. $40.00 includes registration, one lunch, and one t-shirt. Additional Lunches and t-shirts can be purchased in the Shop area of the Regatta Notice Board.

This colorful regatta series was initiated by HIYC in 1968 to honor the club's "Adopted Scotsman," Thistle skipper John McDougall: a Harbor Islander who was instrumental in organizing and promoting sailing in Nashville.  It was he who purchased the land on what would become Harbor Island.  John constructed a concrete causeway from the mainland for the purposes of developing a residential community prior to the lake being filled.  No doubt, he also dreamed of a permanent location for he and his sailing friends.  We at HIYC owe a great debt to this man; because without John and that fortuitous notion, HIYC would not be in existence. Anticipated classes for the McDougall Open are: Lightning, Y Flyer, Vanguard 15, and Laser. Three boats of the same class make a one design fleet.  Boats who do not make a fleet will race in the Open fleet scored with the North American Portsmouth Handicap. 

This year's McDougall is bigger and better!

Included in registration is one HIYC racing T shirt, one lunch, breakfast both days, and, of course, McDougall's chicken after racing on Sat afternoon.

First place trophies for each class is a REALLY nice engraved bottle of Woodford Reserve bourbon, in the true spirit of John McDougall.
