Bring your own boat.

Open by invitation from JSA Office to skippers of two Optimist and two Club 420 boats who meet the “Midget Age” limitation (Optimist will not reach age 15 by December 31, 2025, and Club 420 will not reach age 16 by December 31, 2025). Both crew members of double-handed boats must meet that age requirement. All sailors must be from JSA member clubs located in the YRA LIS region of western LIS and performed well at the 2025 JSA Optimist or C420 championships.

If you are a junior sailor who meets that midget age definition and performed well at this summer's JSA LIS Optimist or Club 420 champs, the JSA invites you email the JSA office if you represent a JSA member program located in the YRA LIS region of western LIS and can travel with your own boat to Bellport, NY, on August 15-16. The JSA will select from those who reply through August 10 two Optimist and two Club 420 boats with the best performance among those replying to represent the western LIS region. Beginning August 11, the JSA may accept any eligible boat on a first come basis.

On-water coaching is not allowed because plenty of safety patrol boats are provided by the host for the MAMC for the fleet of up to 16 boats each class. 

After the MAMC is over, the JSA will reimburse the entry fees for the two Optis and two C420 boats that were previously acknowledged as the YRA of LIS region entries.

Note: The JSA LIS invites only the sailors who are sailing at clubs located in the YRA LIS region of western LIS. The Eastern Connecticut, Eastern Long Island and Great South Bay regions also participate in the MAMC, so JSA of LIS sailors who participate in a summer program located at a club in those regions may inquire if they may enter as a representative of those regions that are outside of the YRA LIS region.
