  Eligibility    
    Q:  I don't see my class listed on the Notice of Race. Can I still participate:  
    A:  The High Sierra Regatta is an Invitational One-Design, & PHRF Regatta.  The Regatta was established for classes of boats within the Fresno Yacht Club.  Other classes are invited, space permitting. The Regattas size is limited due to US Forest Service Limitations. Please feel free to submit a written request for future consideration for your class of boat. Be sure and include the number of boats to expect.
