HOW: Race Entry Forms, Sailing Instructions, Safety & Courtesy Tips for Sailboat Racing in Newport Harbor & Course Charts are available at the Legion office or on our web site. Bring your own boat or help another skipper and enjoy. We have a hoist and some parking for participants. We also have limited guest dock space, an adjoining public dock and moorings. You may fax your Entry Form and PHRF Rating Certificate to the Legion office at 949-673-9555 before the start of the series. NOTE that the Entry Form has a place that you will sign that states that you received the Safety & Courtesy Tips sheet. The entry fee of $25.00 for all 18 weeks of racing must be received by the Legion office or the Race Committee before you will be allowed to participate. The Race Committee will call you after receiving both your entry and entry fee to confirm your slot in your class. Once a class is full the R/C will start a "stand-by" list. If a boat misses 3 weeks, she will be dropped from her class and the slot will be filled from the "stand-by" list.
