This is the biggest event of the AYC year, with boats from other parts of the country coming to try out Arizona weather in January.
But the event means more than a great weekend at the lake.
As in past years, the Birthday Regatta is Saturday and Sunday of MLK Weekend – 14 & 15 January. Come race on Friday, January 13, too, for the Centerboard Challenge, open to anyone who can get the time off to race.
The Leukemia Cup will be awarded based on the Saturday Birthday Regatta results. If you sign up for both the Leukemia Cup and Birthday Regatta, entry Friday is free.
