AFAB-ulous+ Regatta (aka women's albacore regatta by JTown)

This is a multi-club community-driven scored, multi-race regatta day. Prizes are awarded at the end of the day.

10:30 am: first gun
Two races in the morning, followed by lunch on land.
Another race or two after lunch; no races after 3 pm
Snacky dinner and awards
Anyone who is either (1) assigned-female-at-birth, or (2) who IS NOT a cis-gendered man/male (cis-gendered in this context refers to someone who self-identifies as a man/male, who was also assigned male at birth), is welcome to participate either as helm or crew. In other words, this regatta is intended to encourage women, non-binary and transfolk to participate in a sailing regatta day, on the water, and in the boats. We're making a little extra space in our sailing community, because everyone deserves to feel that they belong.
Participants are strongly encouraged to attend Monday Night Race Training sessions before participating in this event. Sailors who have recently completed CanSail 1&2 or Albacore Old Salt L1 are encouraged to participate in monthly Fun Races, the annual New Helm Regatta and annual Baby Duck Regatta for which advanced sailors are not eligible.
JTown's boat captains wishing to participate have priority sign-out privileges for their respective boats (that said, there aren't too many JTown boat captains who are eligible to participate, so come on out, AFAB+'s!).
