NOMINATION REQUEST
Race Committee of the Year

This award goes to the Race Committees judged to have conducted the most outstanding races of the year. Each year, Racers, Classes, Fleets, or Divisions may nominate an event or race committee for consideration. An important factor is the "outstanding" criteria that the CBYRA Executive Committee will judge as a regatta that raises the bar in excellent race management and illustrates the overall high caliber of racing on the Chesapeake Bay.

 

The award dates back to 1966, when former CBYRA President Stewart Walker donated an "Annual Race Committee Award" trophy. In 1984, the award was divided into categories for One Design and Handicap & Cruising One Design. In 1988, the growing number of high-level events on the Chesapeake was recognized with an addition of a Championship category. A separate Junior Division category was added in 2002.
 
Email the office with your nomination(s) for 2011 Race Committee of the Year in one of all of the four categories; One Design, Handicap or Cruising One Design, Championship and Junior.  Please include the Club name, event and class(es) along with your glowing recommendation.
