Champlins Discount for Race Week through 12/31/22

Thinking of Block Island Race Week 2023 - If registration by 12/31 on yachstcoring, there is a process they send you via email to register at Champlins Marina at the discounted price of $6.5/foot instead of the $10.5/foot which will be their published rate.
Strider will be there.

World Sailing Categorization Problems With Website

One of my crew is running into an issue, maybe someone is seeing this same problem?

The website is putting a blue bar on top of the categorization questionnaire form preventing the user from entering information.
