From Seattle Yacht Club's website: "Milfoil Dodgers are a series of fun, half-day, novice regattas... to introduce novice racers to racing and the format of regattas. Each event is casual, fun-filled, and coaching is encouraged. All Milfoil Dodgers events are free for participants, and they include participation awards and lunch. The name “Milfoil Dodger” comes from sailors avoiding the widespread milfoil (an invasive aquatic plant) in Seattle’s lakes."
Milfoil Dodger events are for participants in SYC's Opti Green Fleet Program. For information about the program and to register, see the Opti Green Fleet Program page here.
