Lakewood to host national mid-winter championship

For the first time, the Lakewood Yacht Club will host the J/105 Mid-Winter Championship Regatta from March 9 to 11 in Galveston.

The club is hoping that that the windward/leeward course will attract competitors from across the country. The first gun will fire at 10 a.m. on all three days of the event.

The $300 entry fee includes a free crane to splash boats into the water, a Saturday night dinner and the Sunday awards ceremony and party following the last race.
