In this year’s regatta, hosted by the Pasquotank River Yacht Club, participating sailboats will compete on a closed course on the Pasquotank River. The race is open to spinnaker, non-spinnaker, and cruising class sailors. The cruising class is a fun way for sailors to show their support for hospice care in North Carolina, even if they do not normally race. The regatta also hosts small boat classes for youth and adult sailors. Small boat one-design classes may be established when four boats of the same type register before July 26th. For more information on regatta specifics click the Regatta Information tab on the left hand side of the webpage. Once you have registered for the regatta check out your competition by checking the Scratch Sheet, underneath Regatta Information. This year will also mark the first Albemarle Hospice 5k! Participants of all ages, whether running or walking, will compete on a closed course in downtown Elizabeth City. Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers and also to the top three competitors of each age category. For more information on 5k specifics click the 5k Information tab on the left hand side of the webpage. Once you have registered for the 5k check out your competition by checking the list of registered participants, underneath the 5k Information tab. The day will commence with a regatta awards ceremony that will be held on the deck of Grouper’s Restaurant. The ceremony will include dinner, live entertainment by Dr. Peter Boehling and the Joe Gosman Band, presentation of trophies, a raffle, and a silent auction. The awards ceremony is open to all who would like to support the day’s sailors. Meal tickets are required for entrance to the awards ceremony, but the deck will be opened later to the general public for live music and dancing. For more information about the awards ceremony and live music click the Party Information tab on the left hand side of the webpage. The goals of the hospice regatta and 5k are to raise money for our participating, non-profit hospice and to raise public awareness for hospices everywhere. There is no better way to raise funds and awareness for hospice care than spending a day in the sun and everyone has a lot of fun in doing so! There will be no rain date and no refunds!
