Yes, the team does travel as part of competing. Although many regattas will take place at home in Newport Bay, other races will take place elsewhere. Most traveling is within driving distance of Orange County, such as Mission Bay in San Diego and Marina Del Rey in Los Angeles. The regional championships take place at Lake Natoma in Sacramento every April, to which the team will take travel vans. The national championships are at Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, TN in May, which the team will travel to by plane. Select team members have also competed at the Henley Royal Regatta nearby London, England, and the team is looking to send more boats in in the future.
