The Limbaugh Fund may reimburse skippers aged 30 and under for up to 50% of regatta entry fees for 2024.  Those looking for support should send an email to the Lightning Class office (office@lightningclass.org) with “Limbaugh Subsidy” in the subject line and include the following information:


—Names and ages of your 3 team members.

—Regatta name, location and dates.

—Entry fee (base fee only, please do not include ala carte items such as meals, t-shirts, etc.)

The Limbaugh Fund Committee will review your request and respond within 2 weeks.  You will be reimbursed with the determined amount shortly after your participation in the event.

 
The Youth Worlds, Junior North American's and U32 Regatta's already offer discounted entry fees by the Organizing Authority and are not eligible for this entry fee subsidy. 

Other requests for support are always welcome for consideration by the Limbaugh Fund Committee. 

U32 is a new Lightning Class initiative focused on strengthening the younger generation in the class by creating fun, competitive events to boost camaraderie and connections among young sailors after aging out of junior events. The goal is to provide opportunities to support current members and provide potential new members aged 21-32 experiences to participate in the class.
