As a recognized one-design class by AMYA, all Fairwinds to be raced in any local club, regional or national events, must comply with the Fairwind Class Rules as published on the AMYA website. In addition, all skippers must be a member of the Bakersfield Model Yacht Club ($25.00 per year).

All skippers entered in AMYA-sanctioned regional or national regattas must be a member of the American Model Yachting Association (AMYA) http://www.modelyacht.org.

All new Fairwinds must be registered ($7.00) in the skipper’s name with a permanent sail number if the boat is to be raced in any local club, regional or national events. Transfers of ownership must also be re-registered ($7.00) in the new skipper’s name. Sail numbers are issued by the AMYA Fairwind Class Secretary, Kerry Pebbles. Unused sail numbers can be found on the Fairwind website, under “Registry” (http://fairwind900.home.comcast.net).
