2025 National Championship Regatta
September 26-28, Los Angeles Yacht Club
The Mercury Class will consider their role in ocean stewardship while planning and participating in Mercury Class events and promote practices that align with stewardship goal, such as, but not limited to, those listed in the Clean Regatta Program established by Sailors for the Sea. In addition, the Mercury Class will establish a relationship and affiliation with Sailors for the Sea as an example for other sailing organizations and yacht clubs to follow.
Clean Regattas Pledge
We pledge our commitment to clean waters and shores by participating in Sailors for the Sea’s Clean Regatta program. We vow to fulfill, and encourage other to fulfill, the goals and requirements of Clean Regattas as set forth by Sailors for the Sea, and to work to protect and restore our waters for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations.
