 Bottoms Up Regatta and Carolinas District Regatta - April 24-25, 2020 at Jordan Lake, NC
Sponsored by Thistle Fleet 155 - Central North Carolina
Please register and pay for dinners in advance to help us plan

Picture
Welcome to the 2020 Bottom's Up Regatta and Carolinas' Thistle Districts! Fleet 155 and the Carolina Sailing Club are excited to continue the Carolinas' tradition of the Bottoms Up Regatta. We invite all sailors to campaign their Thistles at this long standing regatta, which has been a bedrock of the southeast spring championship series. We look forward to seeing you here so we can sail and socialize with fellow Thistle sailors on the waters of Jordan Lake in central North Carolina.

The Carolina Sailing Club, while a vibrant and active sailing club, does not have a formal club house location. For regional regattas, our members open up their homes to serve as a club house, and to house visiting sailors. For this weekend, the club house is designated as the home of Sara Paisner and Howard Mendlovitz. This weekend's club house is approximately a 20 minute drive from the sailing venue. 

 Please register via Regatta Network. Thank you!
