Mooring - Launch - Take-out
The regatta can be dry-sailed or wet-sailed, with shuttle boats ferrying sailors who keep their boats on a mooring. Competitors are strongly encouraged to bring a mooring to make lunch breaks easier for themselves. The mooring field is directly in front of the club in 10 feet of water.
Boat and Trailer Parking
DLYC will accommodate all competitors’ tow vehicles and sailboat trailers on site. They will not have to park sailboat trailers or tow vehicles off site.
To offer this, we will need to strictly prohibit the launching and parking of spectator boats and coach boats at DLYC. Launching of personal motor craft is available for anyone at the Delavan Township public launch ramp on the corner of Hwy 50 and South Shore Drive. For guests staying at Lake Lawn Lodge, accommodations for launching and storing boats are available at the Lake Lawn marina.
Note also that pier dockage at DLYC will be reserved for Race Committee boats, safety boats, and competitor sailboats.
