The Louisville Sailing Club invites you to the 2021 Mint Julip Thistle Regatta. LSC is going forward with plans to hold our annual MINT Julip Regatta complying with all CDC and Kentucky Covid Precaution recommended at time of the regatta. Last year we were able to get 8 boats on but due to Covid we did not have any out of towns boats. This year thanks to the vaccine regatta participation is returning to normal and hopefully some other fleets be represented.
Registration starts at 11, and first race will start at one o’clock and no race will start after four. Dinner and beverages will be available when all the boats are put away. Breakfast will be available Sunday morning and racing will resume at 10 (wind permitting), last start no later than one. Leftovers and awards after racing scores are tallied.
Louisville Sailing Club offers a great venue for regattas; Having previously hosted the Internationals, Reginal and Local Regattas with success. Located in a metro area, the club is close to hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores. The race venue is immediately in front of the club, no long sails or tows out to the course, easy shore access between racing, and great viewing from shore. Two one-ton hoists offer easy ramp free launching. The club offers camping on site, or very close hotel options. Louisville offers many other attractions while not on the water, from the close by Bourbon trail, to horse racing history.
The Louisville Sailing Club is looking forward to hosting this event; the Ohio River and Louisville winds can prove challenging like all other inland venues and skill levels. Please Contact LSC to let us know if you are interested in participating or have any questions.
