PCISA Spring Draft Calendar

The PCISA board met last night (3-16-21). We want you to be aware of schedule changes, a requirement for teams wishing to participate in team racing and other important items. 

 1.      The Gaucho Regatta has been canceled for April 10-11.

 2.      The board would like to attempt a district-wide event on April 24-25.  This event may be in Santa Barbara, or it may be moved to Mission Bay.  Look for more information soon – note the decision dates in the attached schedule. 

 3.      The board is considering a move of the PCISA Team Race Qualifiers to the weekend of April 10-11, 2021.  We believe this smaller event may be possible and free up the previously scheduled weekend for the previously mentioned district-wide regatta.

ANY PCISA TEAM INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE PCISA SPRING 2021 TEAM RACE QUALIFIERS (on any date) MUST EMAIL THE PCISA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BY MONDAY MARCH 22, 2021 BY 5:00 PM PDT (PREFERABLY SOONER).

 A decision to hold this event on April 10-11, 2021 will be made by the end of the day on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, and announced broadly by Wednesday, March 24, 2021. IF this event cannot be held on April 10-11, it will remain on April 24-25 at NHYC.

 4.      The NorCal and SoCal Regattas scheduled for April 17-18 are currently “A GO” since these are regional regattas that do not require an overnight stay nor travel of more than 120 miles. These will be single-day regattas with gold fleet on one day and silver fleet on the other. It is possible that the Gold Fleet Events will be used for qualification for the Gold PCCs. More details will be available soon, and all details will follow final decisions on April 2, 2021. The Registration Deadline for these regattas will likely be Monday, April 12, 2021 at 5:00pm PDT.

 5.      The Silver and Gold PCISA Championships, scheduled for May 1-2 & 8-9 respectively are still currently “A GO”.

 6.      There will be Announcements following a PCISA Board Meeting on Tuesday, March 23rd. There will be an ISSA National Board Meeting on Thursday, April 1, 2021 intending to make final decisions on ISSA National Championships. A PCISA Board meeting will follow this. There should be substantial announcements after these meetings.

 7.      High School Sailing is now allowed in the State of CA if it is also allowed by your local agencies and your school and school district. We highly encourage teams to be out practicing, sailing, and organizing small local races NOW. We are doing everything possible to navigate the travel, event size, and other current restrictions in order to host regional and district-wide events. We encourage everyone’s cooperation in observing all necessary Covid-19 precautions, including asking everyone eligible (Coaches and Parent Volunteers) to be vaccinated ASAP.
