Here is the 2022 Thistle racing schedule. Pay attention for updates and corrections.
For Districts this year we return to North Flathead YC and Flathead Lake with an Open Districts at the likely site of the 2023 Thistle Nationals. Open means Non-PNW Thistles may race (R&D, measured and dues paid). They can race and win the regatta but not the District Trophy.
