2027 I-LYA Travelers Series #3 — Hoover Sailing Club

Registration & official results

The host club runs the office on ClubSpot — registration, waivers, entry list, documents, and official scoring all live there.

Registration opens on the host club's ClubSpot page — the link lands here as soon as it's live.

Works with ClubSpot — Mainsheet never replaces the official pages.

Race day, live

On race day this page's live view answers the only question that matters: when do the kids launch, and when do they come ashore.

Hoover Sailing Club

4250 Smothers Rd, Westerville, OH

parking

GPS is known to announce "arrived" before the actual entrance — keep going until you see the club drive. Drop the exact pin from this page, not the street address.

docks

420s and ILCAs launch off the finger dock ("I dock"); Optis launch off the T dock. Plenty of spectating from both docks and the shaded banks by the club — you can see everything that matters from shore.

spectating

Powerboats over 10 HP are not allowed on Hoover Reservoir — so no chase-boat spectating; shore and docks are the plan.

food

Lunch is provided for the sailors — adults fend for themselves (there's a tip jar; feed it). Nearby: Dunkin' just across the bridge; Hoover Bar and Kitchen (newer, good ratings, opens at 11) right across the bridge too; an Asian place and an Italian place in the same strip.

norms

Briefing in the morning → often AP ashore waiting for breeze (it tends to fill late morning) → launch as soon as it does → races stacked until early-afternoon lunch or straight through → typically no racing after ~3 → awards under the flagpole. The Race Day Live feed replaces guessing at all of this. Sunscreen (you will be reminded), a chair for the shade line, patience for the AP wait.

Check-in 8:30, skippers meeting 9:15. Register on ClubSpot (link posted when live).

Photos

Race-day albums live in each team's hub, shared with families after the day. Photos of sailors appear only per each family's consent setting — that's a feature, not a gap.
