2016 Howard Regatta Information:

This years Regatta will be held at the Nautical Inn, Lake Havasu City, September 16-18. We have added an extra day this year (Friday) to accommodate our expanded schedule of events we have planned. Due too the high demand for cove boat parking we have reserved “some” of the cove boat parking spaces which will be available to those staying at the hotel for a discounted rate on a first come first serve basis. These spaces go quickly so reserve them along with your room and book early. Reservations can be made directly thru the hotel by calling 800-892-2141 and asking for group reservations and make sure you mention that it is for the Howard Regatta. If you are taking a cove space please contact me (e-mail or phone) so I can monitor the spaces left. Thanks and we look forward to seeing everyone again as well as our new friends and owners at this year’s event. A full Itinerary will be posted later. Registration forms for the Regatta will mailed later this month. If you are not currently on our mailing list or in doubt, please contact Gene directly with your information so we can mail you everything you will need. Deadline for registration this year is August 15th.
