2023 Deep Creek ILCA (Formerly known as Laser) Invitational

July 8-9, 2023
Join us for an exciting, fun weekend of competitive racing in a relaxed mountain setting on Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland. Each year sailors from Fishing Bay, Virginia; Annapolis, Maryland; Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and Ohio escape the summer heat to join the Deep Creek ILCA (formerly known as Laser) fleet to sail in fresh water and cool breeze. Enjoy a 10 minute sail to the race course, intense racing, quick lunch break, more racing, then relax on the deck with a cold beer or soda.The racing format consists of two fleets – Open and Radial. In the Open fleet – Adults or Juniors racing either standard (full) rigs or radial rigs that can be interchanged throughout the regatta.  The Radial fleet Adults or Juniors (sailors who will not be 19 years or older in 2023) sailing with radial or 4.7 rigs that can be interchanged throughout the regatta. The radial fleet may be started with the Open class if entries f=do not warrant a separate start.
