We got 2-3 inches of light snow last night and are postponing the Fun Regatta until next weekend. The call will be made by the evening of Thursday March 27. Bob

We are still hoping to have the regatta this coming weekend. The primary site is West Grand Traverse Bay at the Grand Traverse Yacht Club. We sailed there last weekend and the ice was good but needs a little resurfacing. There is a rain/snow event forecast for Wednesday night thru Thursday night. We can't make the final call until we check out the ice Friday morning. I'll do my very best to get the word out by noon time on Friday. We wish we could make the call sooner but that's the way it goes. Bob

The Grand Traverse Ice Yacht Club Fun Regatta has been called ON for this weekend March 29-30th. :)
Dick Wollam and Bob Gray were on the ice on West Grand Traverse Bay this morning and just made the call.
We got rain overnight and minimal snow this morning, and are expecting the ice to freeze up adequately overnight tonight. The weekend forecast looks good.
Launch site is the Grand Traverse Yacht Club 13615 S. West Bay Shore Dr., Traverse City, MI. 49684
We will be doing registration tonight at the Club, from about 6p to 8p or so, but registration can be done Saturday morning too at the Club/launch site. $15.00 fee
I'll post more information as I get it, but wanted to get this much out ASAP for those planning to travel.

For those arriving this afternoon or evening: the Yacht Club is open on Fridays and the parking lot fills up quickly. If you will arrive later than 5 pm, we suggest to set up your boat Saturday morning. Do not leave trailers in the GTYC lot this afternoon or evening please. Extra parking across M22 behind the blue large office building. Thank you!

The ice has already firmed up tonight! We plan to start races around 1030a-11a if at all possible. Registration at the launch (in the club) in the morning. Check in by 10 am if you can so we can get the fleets organized.
