HOME PAGE OF THE
LONG BEACH INVITATIONAL
REGATTA
The Long Beach Invitational
Regatta is designed to test your crew’s skills and knowledge as well
as ingenuity and teamwork in a way that is innovative and enjoyable.
.
The events are based
on those
of other Sea Scout competitions and from requirements and basic
knowledge learned through ordinary. But then, some is just off the
wall.
.
For example, does
your
crew know how to drill? What if they can’t see where they are going?
For that matter, how about team pulling blindfolded? What would happen
to your Scuttlebutt time if you had to fill the barrel first? Will your
general knowledge of seamanship, and scouting survive a game of
Jeopardy?
.
Of course, we cannot
guarantee
that these events will be a part of the regatta in any given year. We
strive to find new and exciting events to make this a different regatta
each time you come.

The Long Beach
Invitational
Regatta is held each year on the second Saturday in March at the Long Beach Sea Scout Base, 5875 E. Appian Way, Long Beach, California.

The new definition of FUN!
The Long Beach Invitational Regatta is designed to test
your crew’s
skills and knowledge as well as ingenuity and teamwork in a way that is
innovative and enjoyable. The events are based on those of other Sea
Scout competitions and from requirements and basic knowledge in the Sea
Scout Manual. But then, some are just off the wall.
As in the past, the Regatta intends to test your ingenuity and teamwork
skills by presenting standard Sea Scouting events in challenging and
fun new ways. Because these events are not presented in a way that you
are used to, we recommend that you not spend a lot of time practicing.
Just bring your imagination, creativity and good sense of humor for a
day of fun, food and fellowship.
Registration opens at 0730. There will be a meeting at 0830 for all
adults and Boatswains. In addition to the events, barbecue lunch and
traditional "Hell Drill".
Pre-registration is important as it tells us how many ships and people
to plan for. One year we almost ran out of food because of the
unexpectedly high turnout. Pre-registration will be only $10.00 per
ship (even if you send multiple crews). At the Regatta we will collect
an additional $5.00 per person to cover the cost of meals, awards and
materials. Please use the link below for the mail-in registration form
and return it with your
pre-registration payment by February 20, 2010.
If you plan to bring your boat: There is some space available
this year. We encourage those units that are able to
drive to the event to please do so. If you plan to bring your boat
please contact me by e-mail.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Come for the fun!
Help!
In our effort to keep the Long Beach Invitational
Regatta unique,
different
and original, we need new events. Unfortunately, we seem to be running
out of
new ideas. We need your help. If you have any ideas, please do not
hesitate to
share them with us. We have received many great ideas in past years and
we know
that there are many creative and diabolical minds in this program.
Please let
us know what the event is and how it works (please provide details).
Remember,
the object is knowledge and practical skills with an emphasis on fun.
We hope
to hear from you soon. Thank You.
