Oakcliff Sailing, Oyster Bay NY

View the Notice of Race and register at the below links to the two event sites.
Triple Crown Series events are open to boats of the 49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17, 470 (Mixed), ILCA 6, ILCA 7, and Waszp classes.  All classes are open to all genders to promote the development of young sailors, although to be eligible for prize grants you must be sailing in a configuration eligible for the `Olympic games'.  All boats may be inspected for Class Rules compliance prior to racing.

The target audience is those sailors looking to get into a high-level regatta and have sights on a potential Olympic Campaign. It is also a way for athletes to learn from the top performers because there will be training going on throughout the entire week by organized teams. Anyone wishing to participate who has questions may email or phone.

The Triple Crown series offers both International and American athletes a chance to win prize grants in five of the following Olympic Class boats (49er, 49erFX, Mixed 470, Nacra 17s, and ILCA). Oakcliff has not included the ILCA in years past, but it is a very popular class amongst younger sailors and those too big for the 420s or just like to be singlehanded. The prize grants are designed to support their Olympic campaigns and help relieve some of the fundraising challenges these sailors face. This year Oakcliff is also mixing in the Waszp Class, though that is not eligible for prize-grants. If you are looking to kickstart your Olympic Campaign or simply want to compete at this high-level event, click the links above to register. 

With full fleets in the Olympic classes, the top 8 finishers earn prize grants.  The maximum a team can win per regatta is $16,666. These prize grant funds are to be used for campaign expenses, generally, items like insurance,  regatta entry fees, or economy travel to events. In addition to the 49er and 49erFx, the ILCA 6 and 7 and providing an exhibition start for Waszps. 

There are Charter Boats for all classes and housing is available for this event, too.

The US Sailing Level 1 Instructor course is divided into two sections that have been revised for 2023: 

- A 3-day in-person section of the Level 1 course is approximately 30 hours and students will be evaluated on their teaching ability, sailing skills, powerboat handling skills and on-water class management, among other topics.

- A self-guided online introduction section of Level 1. The self-guided section allows participants to learn at their own pace and includes no scheduled interaction with an Instructor Trainer. This online course must be completed prior to attendance at the 3-day in-person section. US Sailing recommends that the in-person section is attended within three months of the online course completion for maximum retention and successful completion.
