Soft drinks will be provided but alcoholic beverages are BYO. All EYC members, their guests, and non-member regatta participants are invited. Please attend and welcome our regatta competitors!

* The EYC will host the Midwest District Flying Scot Singlehanded Championship Regatta on the afternoon of Friday, August 3.  The Singlehanded Championships will consist of three relatively short races.  Spinnakers will be allowed, and spectators are encouraged!  You must be registered to compete in the Ephraim Regatta in order to compete in the Singlehanded Championships.
