Sign-Up Available for Chicago NOOD Regatta

Registration has opened for the 2018 Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta Chicago.  This event is one of five T-10 Class Association Sanctioned regattas.  Last year we had 26 T-10s register for this event, let's see if we can get to to 30 in 2018!

The cost is $250 through May 25, 2018 and a $50 late fee will apply after that (late registration is at the discretion of the organizing authority).  The race also requires $500,000 insurance, instead of the usual $300,000.

Registration is available at YachtScoring.com

T-10 National Class 2018 Dues Payment Now Active

The T-10 National Class 2018 Dues Payment page on the website is now active and available for new or renewing members to update their roster information and pay their 2018 dues.  The 2018 dues page can be reached by clicking on the Join/Renew button in the upper right corner of the site or by going to https://www.tten.com/join-renew/.

New for 2018, the membership fee for Associate Members has been eliminated.  That's right, Associate Members can join the class for free!

And for Regular Members, the dues remain at $50.  That price has been consistent since 1999.  How many other things in life can you say haven't had a price increase in 19 years?

Your membership dues go towards administration of the class, publication of the class website and the TenSpeed newsletter, support of the North American Championship and support of the T-10 college regattas.  The class also arranges for the manufacture and sale of masts for the T-10.

Chicago T-10 Fleet #2 Winter Seminar - This Boat is Rigged!

Here are the slides from seminar #2 in the 2018 Chicago T-10 Fleet #2 winter seminar series.  Kristian Martincic from Chicago Yacht Rigging gave a presentation titled 'This Boat is Rigged!' that covered many of the rigging issues that T-10 owners have faced.  It also included a section on dyform or compacted rigging, a timely topic given the current ongoing class vote on this topic.  Videos of the presentation are available on the T-10 Class Association Facebook page and will be uploaded to the Chicago T-10 website shortly.
