Dinghy Days is our annual dinghy regatta, where our smaller boats get to play on the big lake! Fleets include Sunfish, Lasers, Buccaneer 18, CFJs, Multihulls, and Portsmouth.
Not racing but available to help out? Sign up here!
New this year is an optional Racing Clinic on Friday, November 6th. Classroom teaching in the morning , and on the water training in the afternoon! We’ll have Sunfish and Laser-specific training, as well as a coach for all other boats. Cost is just $20! Read about the coaches here and look for more information in the registration. The clinic will start at the Anchor Drop Building (see map below).
All on-land activities will be based in Spring Canyon, including a BBQ dinner Friday night and a catered dinner from Don Tacos Saturday night. One Saturday dinner ticket is included in the bid fee; more can be purchased during registration.
Spring Canyon is open for camping this year! Pay for camping as if you were dry camping up top (stop by the RV Office and tell them Cactus Wren or Ringtail section), then come set up in Spring Canyon. There is still a two night minimum. Shower cards are available for an extra fee. If you are arriving after 5PM, you will need to pay for your camping permit at the entrance gate. If you are arriving on Thursday, we recommend you camp in Ringtail Thursday night, then you can move to Spring Canyon for the remainder of the weekend. If you’d like to stay in a nearby hotel, check out this interactive map for options.
Do you launch with a dolly? Spring Canyon is good for that too! Larger boats with trailers can launch at the nearby North Ramp. See the map below for details.

NOR REV 1 Changes (posted 10/30/2026):
Section 11 – Venue and Course is amended to clarify the finishing marks and location by reference to newly updated Lake Chart Q, which supercedes the previously referenced Lake Chart P.
Section 13 – Scoring is amended to change the Time Limit Expired period from 30 to 20 minutes for boats finishing after the first boat in their fleet. This may reduce unnecessary wait times during races.
