Week of July 11th: “Secret Racers Regatta”
Like a stealth plane, you may find it hard to see, but it is there and it’s exciting! For 2011 we have integrated the rally into the regular club races so boats can win by racing in the regular club races the week of July 11th, with the added twist of a bit of fundraising and volunteering!! Easy to participate and you have a chance to win great prizes (not to mention the prestige bragging rights for winning the inaugural year) .

Saturday morning – Bushtukah “Bring on the Bay” 3 Km Swim
(From NSC to BYC)
The day begins bright and early for some as a group of intrepid swimmers brave the warm, friendly waters of Lac Deschenes, swimming a 2.9 Km route from the Nepean Sailing Club to the Britania yacht club to raise money for Easter Seals. Once at Britannia, they enjoy a refreshing breakfast while celebrating their achievement.
If you’re a swimmer (fast or slow) then this might be for you!

Saturday morning – Family Fleet Salute and Activities for Families (NSC)
The theme is PIRATES! so come dressed, decorate your boats and be prepared to walk the plank!
This day is devoted to providing a fun and adventurous experience for Easter Seals kids and their families.
The Family Fleet Salute provides the kids and their families the opportunity to go out on the water for a sail. Members of both clubs donate their time and energy to make this a special experience for everyone. This year we are expecting to have over 50 families on the water! This is the highlight of the day for the kids and their families.
The Regatta also gives the kids the opportunity to participate in many landside activities. Games, crafts, animal shows and other activities take place before and after the Fleet Salute along with a great lunch for families and volunteers.
