Bay Waveland Yacht Club in Bay St.Louis, MS, will host the 2023 Midwinters - NOR and registration on Regatta Network at https://www.regattanetwork.com/event/25614

Hey Folks, we are throwing a party and you are invited. 

Our yacht club is a beautiful facility as you can see from the pictures, built after Hurricane Katrina, bigger and better.  Our sailing venue is especially fine: close enough to the open water to get winds but none of the rough seas that you expect outside the bridges and not far enough inland to have squirrelly winds.  We are expecting Mother Nature to prove us right, but that is out of our control.

The food will be grand as two components of our club are preparing dinners especially for you on Sunday and Monday evenings.   Wednesday you can join in on our yacht club’s staff preparation, if you choose to, or visit our town which is known for its restaurants (and bars) just a short distance away from the club.  There are plenty of places to enjoy the food; your selection of midweek visiting will make it easier, without the weekend crowds.  

We have a fair amount of room for camping on site without anything fancy.  Fairly close by, the camp grounds at Hollywood Casino and Resort are complete with the usual amenities.   At BWYC we have some round the clock bathroom facilities, but the showers are available only during open hours of the club. If you want to reserve a camping spot, please email Judy at the email link below.

Now on to the action.  The schedule calls for 8 races.  We will have kegs every racing day.   We will have prerace wisdom and postrace debrief shared with the crew from North Sails.  You will get to say how you won that race !   There will also be plenty of time around the keg to explain why you did not win that race !

There will be a flyer out soon with the shirt design and an opportunity to purchase both shirts and extra meal tickets, in case there are more than 2 people in your party.  They will be available at the registration desk also.

Additional note:  BWYC is searching the market for two Scots to add to our fleet due to an accident.  We do not need, but would take, the trailer or sails. In case you are thinking of going to a NEW boat, let us buy the older one, provided it is in decent shape.
