For those interested in racing, all of our active fleets have weekly racing at their respective clubs. Annually, our Rebel Nationals in July gathers the sailors from all over the country for a three day event with seven races and social festivities. While some sailors are very competitive, our events are like family reunions for everyone. We encourage new sailors and those with questions to attend so we can help you become a better Rebel sailor. We need people to sail with all the time, so please contact the fleet that is closest to you!
Typically, our racing goes from Memorial Day to Labor Day at our local lakes for fleet racing. After Labor Day, we have three consecutive weekends of racing at Reeds Lake (East Grand Rapids, Michigan), then Clark Lake (Clarklake, Michigan) and lastly at Lake Fenton (Fenton, Michigan). If you love to camp, all of these hosts allow camping. Alternatively, housing may be available with local fleet members. Either way, it's a great way to connect with other sailors and keep the fun times rolling after sailing on the water. In the winter months, there is also a midwinter mixed fleet invitational regatta the last weekend of March at Lake Dora (Mount Dora, Florida). Mount Dora has boats available, so you do not even need to bring yours! This could be possible at other events, please ask the Fleet Captain for that event!
If other clubs are hosting regattas and would like the information posted here, just let us know!
