Housing options (rental units and hotels tend to book early):

1)     Stay with a host family: We will have a limited number of families who can volunteer to host sailors. If you are interested in this option, please email Allison acoleman2015@comcast.net

2)     Other rentals: In 2015, many sailors chose to vacation on Cape Cod for the full week, staying in one of the closest towns (Chatham, Harwich, Orleans, or Brewster). There is a wide range of options for housing from resorts to hotels/motels to VRBO to campgrounds. You may want to start looking for options by exploring the following sites.


Willamette to Host Al Morris Regatta at New Facility

Make your reservations now for sailing and amping/lodging for the 2024 The Al Morris Regatta to be held the first weekend of August. The August 3-4 event will be the Cathlamet Marina in Cathlamet, Washington. 

This is a new site for Willamette Sailing Club and we are excited about what the Cathlamet Marina and town have to offer.  However, because the marina facilities are smaller than the campground at Yale Lake, we are going to limit registration to the first 15 Lidos and 15 Day Sailers to register.  A waiting list will be started for those who miss the cut.  We invite the Lido and Day Sailer fleets to invite outside fleets to join us. Registration is not open yet but we will keep everyone in the loop.

There are lots of lodging options at the marina and in town. Please take a look at the overhead view of the marina and campground found at the end of this email. The tent camping will be covered in your registration.  Options outside of that are on your own.  The cabins and RV spots get reserved early, by others outside the regatta, so if you want that option, go online and reserve your spot now.  Also great places to eat in the area.
