Description: Whether you're racing or watching, the Regatta is an elegant spectacle and a challenging event for savvy sailors, given the windy conditions on Fremont Lake. There are some rules, but the emphasis is on fun, with minimal fees and minimal prizes. Three races take place Saturday and two on Sunday, guaranteeing stately groups of bright triangular sails crossing the dark blue expanse of Fremont. Yachting classes range from small single boats to cruisers and multi-hulls. The action starts at the Lakeside Lodge marina (follow the signs from Fremont Lake Rd.) at 9 a.m. with pre-registration. Skippers meet at 10 a.m. and the first race blasts off at 11. All sailing friends, from any port, are welcome.

The main goal of the Fremont Lake Yacht Club is to have fun and to sail. To that end, the club offers free sailing lessons every Saturday morning during the summer prior to Regatta. All of the neophyte sailors get a chance to sail in the Regatta, so sailors old and new get to race together.
