Dear Community
Friend,
The Santa
Barbara Yacht Club will host its fourth Annual Charity Regatta, benefiting Visiting
Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara on September 7, 2008.
I would like to invite you and/or your organization to become a sponsor
of this one-of-a-kind event.
In addition
to the excitement of the actual boat races, the Yacht Club will host a
pre-race brunch and after-race party and barbecue with live music. There
will be access to local yachts for spectators to view the races, as well
other fun and unique activities in and around the Yacht Club. There will
also be lots of fabulous raffle prizes.
As you may
know Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara is a non-profit
agency in existence for nearly 100 years. In addition to being the only
state licensed and Medicare certified hospice program in the Santa Barbara
area, they are also the largest provider of home health, and operate one
of the very few residential hospice facilities for the terminally ill in
California
VNHC serves
over 3,000 patients each year, and their mission is to provide high quality,
comprehensive home health, hospice, and related services necessary to promote
the health and well-being of all community residents, including those unable
to pay. In fact, they must raise almost $1 million each year to continue
their commitment of providing care for patients who are uninsured, underinsured
and unable to pay. That's where we come in.
The Santa
Barbara Yacht Club is one of this area's most recognized institutions,
and our Charity Regatta is one way that we give back to this community.
By showing our appreciation and support to the nurses, home health aides,
counselor and volunteers who tend to the needs of others every day we can
truly make a difference. This is a popular and exciting event with many
opportunities for sponsor and donor recognition.
We invite
our Sponsors to participate in one of three ways:
As a Corporate
Sponsor, enlisting your company or organization to support this important
event.
As a Boat
Sponsor, supporting skippers and crews who race for the cause of comfort
and dignity at the end of life.
As a Memorial
Sponsor, securing special recognition for a loved one who has passed away.
Please join
with us in supporting the important work of Visiting Nurse & Hospice
Care. All Sponsorships are tax-deductible, however in order to be
included in our printed materials, t-shirts, and posters, your sponsorship
must be submitted no later than June 30th, 2008. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact Tamara Skov at Visiting Nurse & Hospice
Care, 805-690-6282.
See you
on the water!

Regatta Boating Events
Although our Charity Regatta
will include many activities throughout the day, the power and sailboat
competition will be the main events. The success of our fund raising efforts
depends on the full participation of our boating members. Both events are
intended to be fun yet competitive with perpetual and take home trophies
going to the winners.
Sailboat Race Format and Rules
The fleet will be broken down into several classes: PHRF Class A, B, and C, CHRF, J105, J24, and others. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in each class. The first gun will be at 1310 hours. Read the Sailing Instructions.
Power Boat Event
This is a “Predicted Log” contest.
It is intended to challenge the planning and navigation skills of contestants.
Skippers of any powered vessel, including sailboats under auxiliary power,
are welcome, provided they meet the minimum requirements specified in the
rules. Contact Roger Chrisman for more information:
