Registrations for boats longer than 20 feet are due by 10:30 a.m. Sunday. The entry fee is $50, and a post-race celebration and awards ceremony are planned for 3:30 to 6 p.m.

Either entry fee can be completed the day of the race at the club or beforehand online, for an extra fee.

A raffle for racers and supporters will be held. The drawing is Sunday, and attendance is not mandatory to win.

Last year, 72 boats participated in the regatta, which raised $27,000 for CHOC, organizers said.

The Balboa Yacht Club is at 1801 Bayside Drive, Corona del Mar.
