Tulip Regatta
The Tulip Regatta is held each spring and consists of two days of windward/leeward buoy racing in Fidalgo Bay, Anacortes along with two dinners - a banquet (tickets required) and entertainment Saturday night; plus a free dinner and awards presentation after the racing on Sunday.
The Tulip Regatta is open to all yachts whose skippers have completed the on-line registration process; have paid an entry fee of $30.00 ($40.00 after April 3); are current PHRF-NW members; and meet PIYA category III requirements.
