Fall 2024 Regatta Schedule:

The fall 2024 regatta schedule is taking shape. Full details are posted on the NESSA Website. 

Those documents will describe the registration process.  

A couple notes:

• Registration for the Casco Bay Open is open.

• Registration for the Arnold Brown, NBKI, Healy, Fall Funfest, and Duxbury Fall Invite open at noon on Sept 5th

• NESSA is still trying to finalize locations and dates for the GOR.  

• In all case though a school must have paid their 2024-2025 NESSA/ISSA Dues in order to register and compete.  Details on how to register are listed below.

B. MEMBERSHIP: You have been sent this letter and invoice because your school had an active sailing program last year.  NESSA anticipates operating a full Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 season. Your continued support is appreciated.

In order to complete your school’s eligibility, please follow the directions below.  

Go online and confirm the status of your school. https://nessa.hssailing.org/schools

1. If status says “active”, then your school is all set for this year.

2. If status is “pending,” this means that the on-line data has been updated but the dues check was not received.  Please fill out and sign the attached invoice and mail with an appropriate check to the address on the form or you can pay through the PayPal link on the website.

3. If status is listed as “inactive,” this means that the on-line portion of registration has not been completed and the dues check has not been received.  Please:

   1. Log on to the “team registration” page and follow the directions.  https://registration.hssailing.org/

   2. Fill out and sign the attached invoice and mail with an appropriate check to the address on the form or you can pay through the PayPal link on the website.

Some follow up: 

• The best and quickest way to pay dues is through the NESSA PayPal Portal.

• Dues and forms are being sent to Bottom Line Bookkeeping in Hyannis. This is the company that we started using nine years ago.  If you have a Centerville address or a Hyannis address in your files, those locations are no longer valid, and checks sent there will not be received.  

• If you need updated W-9 information, please e-mail and I will have the bookkeeper send you the appropriate documentation.

• For the Fall, dues must be received prior to competing in any high school regattas.  

• For the Spring, dues must be received by November 1st.  Schools that do not pay dues by that date will be assessed a late fee.
