The 2012 TRAP regatta is scheduled for June 26-29. The regatta is broken into two separate fleets with as many races as possible.  Since it is a training regatta, on-water coaching is not only allowed but encouraced!  Registration is limited to the first fifty boats per fleet so register early and give your child the opportunity to experience this unique training event which has become one of midwest's most popular junior sailing events.  Here is a link to the TRAP NOR and Registration Forms (Jr. and Sr.)

The Wisconsin DNR has grandfathered all existing piers as of March 31,  2012. New piers must be approved in advance but existing piers do not need a permit. Click here for a link to the DNR site.

The National Class E Association now requires all E scows to be members of the Association in order to qualify to compete in seasonyacht club fleet races.  Boats must have an official NCESA sticker on the transom.
