The Nyack Boat Club (Nyack, NY) has shed its winter blanket and is looking forward with hope and enthusiasm to a more normal & active 2021 sailing season. To that end we are again hosting our annual Tappan Zee Challenge, traditionally the first Sonar Class sanctioned regatta of the sailing season, June 26 & 27.  Come join us; you can count on the Hudson River’s challenging winds and currents to provide an interesting & fun way to start the 2021sailing and regatta season.

It will be a multi-class regatta again this year. In addition to putting on the Tappan Zee Challenge we will be concurrently hosting a Thistle Class regatta and a Lightning Class regatta.  This always heightens the interest and the action both on the water and on shore.  We will have a full day of racing Saturday.  NBC members will be there to help launch the Sonars Friday evening and Saturday morning.  All boats must be afloat by 1000 Saturday. The boats will stay on the club’s guest mornings Saturday night.   Sunday we will start early and conclude early enough for you to get home dinner with the family.

Please note – the Nyack Boat Club observes New York State COVID-19 protocols and strongly encourages wearing a mask and safe distancing while on the property and on the launch.   

The NOR’s will posted asap on www.nyackboatclub.org and www.Sonar.org.  Feel comfortable to contact me, NBC Sonar Fleet captain, directly at address below ….

The Sonar Class Association (SCA) Executive Committee met and decided to cancel the 2021 North Americans at Wayzata Yacht Club (WYC).  The COVID-19 pandemic has created numerous challenges. While the decision wasn’t easy, feedback from various yacht clubs was that traveling and participation in a North American Championship level regatta in 2021 was not feasible. The Board firmly desires to maintain the quality and participation of the event for all teams.

The SCA Board awarded the 2022 Sonar Worlds to Lake Sunapee Yacht Club in New Hampshire in June.  The SCA Board awarded the 2023 Sonar North Americans to WYC in September.
