Pre registration for DN Westerns
Thanks to Kent Baker for setting up a registration link below. Just fill in your name, email, phone number and gold or silver fleet(voluntary fleet split). To use it, you must first be a member of IDNIYRA for the 2014-15 season.
When you check out, your name and sail number will be added to pre-registered list, saving you time at registration. No payment necessary until you show up at the 2015 Western's. Then pay and show evidence of insurance and you are good to go. This helps the regatta chairperson and scorers.
