CBYRA could not manage this regatta if not for the many tireless individuals who are dedicated to the event's success. Please remember to express your appreciation to the Race Committees on the water, the volunteers at the tent parties and the organizers. 

Hopefully you will not see the Protest Committee members this weekend, but should you, Ric Crabbe's team deserver your gratitude too!

Special thanks go to the Clubs that donate their resources to the four Race Committees:

Fleet 1 - Annapolis Yacht Club

Fleet 2 - Eastport Yacht Club

Fleet 3 - Naval Academy Sailing Squadron

Distance - Gibson Island Yacht Squadron

 

Go to www.wriwx.com/races/5466.html to see the Daily Forecast each day prior to racing. 

 

Participants can also create their own SeaWeather account by going directly to www.seaweather.net/raceregister.php?r=annapolis.

In order to promote sailing the US Sailing Roadshow will provide anyone with the opportunity to get out on the water in a Laser or Bic. The Roadshow features two recent past collegiate competitors, Will Ricketson (Westford, MA) and Brooke Thomson (Newport Beach, CA), who are traveling all over the country to convey the enjoyment and accessibility of sailing to everyone. Ricketson and Thomson also offer demonstrations on their one-design sailboats. 

Another vendor returning to City Dock with us providing food service that include delicious choices like crab cakes, beef brisket, Portobello mushroom sandwiches, and more at al a carte pricing. The Main Ingredient will also have non-alcoholic drinks for sale for your convenience.

We encourage you to strive for higher environmental standards while participating in this Clean Regatta and to work to protect and restore our waters long after racing.

During the regatta let WasteStrategies help dispose of your boat's waste correctly by bringing your trash bag to the tent party, if recycling is not readily available at your dock. 

Do you know someone who would like to help during or after the tent parties?  Have them review the list at cbyra.org/arw for ideas on where they can lend assistance, or just email Leanne at leannelstewart@yahoo.com to sign up.  

All volunteers get an exclusive red hat provided by Gosling's and a one day party pass as tokens of our appreciation.

Times and locations are subject to change, see cbyra.org/arw for updates.
