2020 Sailing Season and Regatta Canceled

Sailors and supporters,

NDAA has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Lake Champlain Invitational Martin 16 Regatta. COVID-19 has made it impossible to run a regatta that is fun, fair, and safe for our sailors, crew, and volunteers. Unfortunately, the decision to cancel the regatta extends to our 2020 sailing program. The nature of Martin 16 makes it impossible for a crewed vessel to practice social distancing.

The NDAA will not run its program this year. We will not be mooring the boats this season, and we cannot facilitate launchings.

Four members of the NDAA board are avid sailors. We are deeply disappointed by these circumstances, but it is the decision we have to make for the well-being of everyone involved.

We look forward to resuming our regular programming in 2021.
