Fee to attend the reception is $20. The race is open to boats from all clubs – registration is online at RKYC.ca. Tickets for racing and/or reception are $20/person. For a chance to have one of the Maiden crew join your boat during the race, plus race and reception, tickets are $30 each. Spectator boats are welcome. Moorings and/or dock space may be available upon request.

Funds raised are, at the Maiden crew’s request, staying locally, supporting NB sailing athletes heading to the Canada Games. Antoinette Demers (FYC Commodore)
