The AMYA encourages member clubs to hold National and Regional Championship regattas. The AMYA supports its clubs by providing a subsidy for these regattas based upon the number of AMYA member participants in the regatta.
The requirements are simple:
1 - Submit the Regatta
The Regatta Chairman or Class Secretary should place the National Championship Regatta (NCR) or Regional Championship Regatta (RCR) on the AMYA website Regatta Schedule at least 3 months prior to the event date.
2 - Confirm Participant Eligibility
All participants of the NCR/RCR must be members in good standing of the AMYA as of the regatta date(s) and/or of their country’s governing body for model yachting.
3 - Submit a Regatta Report
This report should be submitted to MYRegattaReport@rcsailing.org and must be posted to Regatta Results on the AMYA website as soon as possible after the event, and before the subsidy is requested.
4 - Request Subsidy from the Treasurer
The Class Secretary or Regatta Chairman must send a request for the subsidy, a copy of the Entries with verified AMYA membership numbers, the name and AMYA number of the sponsoring club, a link to the regatta report on the AMYA website, and Final Results with race scores, to the AMYA Treasurer. Include phone, email and address information for the participants to make it easier to verify the participants.
