AYC ANNAPOLIS OVERNIGHT RACE
FKA the Coast Guard Foundation Cup

Originally slated to be the 2nd annual Coast Guard Foundation Cup, the CG Foundation hope to return as event partners in 2013 but have stepped down for the 2012 event.  As the inaugural race was a success and there was continued interest by Bay sailors for this spring "shakedown cruise", AYC has scheduled the event for Saturday 28 April and is looking forward to another great weekend of sailing for PHRF, cruiser, non-spin and multihull classes. 

 

The NOR will be published in the 2012 Green Book and will be posted on AYC's Racing site in the very near future.  If you have any questions contact AYC Regatta Manager, Linda Ambrose by emailing lambrose@annapolisyc.org.
