Senior Olympic Regatta 2005
A Senior Olympic Regatta will be hosted by Fairhope Yacht Club, Fairhope, Alabama, in late October 2005. This regatta will be the first ever Senior Olympic sailing event and will be conducted under the authority of the National Senior Games Association and the Mobile Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau.
This regatta is open to all non-professional sailors of at least 50 years of age (the skipper must be at least 50, and the average age of skipper plus all crew must be at least 50). The focus of the event is racing one-design sailboats and there are no prerequisite qualifications other than age. This is a bring your own boat regatta encompassing seven races.
As members of Fairhope Yacht Club's Senior Regatta committee, my wife and I are trying to develop a list of interested individuals, yacht clubs, fleets, classes, or sailing associations which would like to receive more detailed official printed information regarding this unique sailing event. You may reply with your mailing information or feel free to contact us at our home in Mobile, AL (251-342-5651). Additionally you may direct any questions to the regatta email account (seniorregatta2005@yahoo.com) or by snail mail to Fairhope Yacht Club, Senior Olympics, PO Box 1327, Fairhope, AL 36533.
Thank you for your interest,
