While we all know that the whole point of coming to Loring is for the unparalleled sailing, don’t forget about the incredible history. Here’s a short film from Maine Public Television about just that.

Don’t forget to send in your registration soon!

These guys only have a little over a month to invent wheels and get the Pterodactyl Flyer dialed in for Loring Landsailing September 8-12. Like last time, there will be two classes: BloKart and Unlimited. The contingent from Wisconsin will be back, as well as the Jersey Boys. In addition to the full schedule of course racing there will be touring races and social events in the evenings.

Scroll down a few posts for all the nitty gritty details.

A couple of us sailed at Loring yesterday, finding more routes through and around the flightline. Squalls blew through between full sun, chasing us back to the pits seeking shelter from the storm. It’s such an amazing place to sail land yachts, so if you’re on the fence about coming to the Fall Regatta I can assure you that if you come, you won’t regret it. Sign up soon! The gang from Wisconsin is coming back, as are the Jersey Boys. Jeff Kent and Chad Adkins have a top secret land sailor in the works, and we’re hoping the Mini Skeeter fleet will grow.

With that in mind, here are a couple of pdf’s with all you need to know, and then some. It’s the same material from the previous post in a pdf format. Go to the site for the sign-up sheet.

Here’s the application for the regatta. You can either print it out, or just write all the required info on a piece of paper and send it in with your check. Friday Happy Hour, Saturday Cookout and Bunker Breakfasts are included.

The Bunker Inn is filling up fast. The Caribou Inn is offering a land yacht special of $99.oo. Just mention that when you call to book. They won’t accept it if you book online.
