ANNAPOLIS NAUTICAL FLEA MARKET
A Part of the Spring Sailboat Show

The Annapolis Nautical Flea Market, a feature of this year's Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show, is a fun way to spend the day with family. Enjoy being outdoors and browsing the many vendor booths looking for that special treasure you absolutely can't live without. A $10 ticket will get you into the Spring Sailboat Show and the Flea Market or a $5 ticket gives you entrance into the Flea Market only. Either way, you'll have a great time spending the day in historic Annapolis at the Susan B. Campbell Park, City Dock.

 

Saturday 28 April 0900 -1700 and Sunday 29 April 0900 - 1500

 

PARKING:  City Parking Lots with Annapolis Circulator Trolley Transport details can be found online at www.annapolis.gov.

BURMUDA OCEAN RACE - LAST CALL
Still Time to Enter

The biennial Bermuda Ocean Race to be held Friday 8 June has announced last call for entries, due Tuesday 1 May Entries may be made online at www.bermudaoceanrace.com.

 

The BOR is a race that begins in Annapolis and ends 750 miles later in Bermuda.  The BOR is open to any single or multi-hulled sailing yacht 28-feet overall in length or greater. The competition welcomes racing veterans, 1st timers and cruisers alike. There will be spinnaker, non-spinnaker, double-handed and one-design classes, along with a separate demonstration class for the Mini 6.5s.

 

The race is known for its mix of great racers, cruisers and diverse sailing conditions. Starting on the Chesapeake Bay sailors must navigate busy bay waters and cross the Gulf Stream. Largely invisible competition and reefs encircling Bermuda also make it a race for the adventurous.

SAFETY AT SEA SEMINAR
The Mariners Museum

Captain Henry Marx will lead this full day of excellent instruction at The Mariners Museum on Saturday 5 May.  Topics include Damage Control, Coast Guard Rescue Procedures, Crew Over-Board and Rescue, First Aid, Chesapeake Bay Weather, and a Life Raft Demonstration.   The $60 fee covers lectures, demos, course materials and a box lunch.  

 

Register now, seating is limited! 

 

Go online to www.marinersmuseum.org/safety-at-sea or call 757-591-7749 or for more information.

OPTIS WANTED
Donation Opportunity

The National Sailing Center & Hall of Fame is mentoring a group of Anne Arundel County Public School STEM students and Center for Applied Technology students to construct an Optimist Land Cruiser fashioned after a similar El Toro Land Cruiser built in Alameda, CA.  The purpose is to take "first Opti" experiences TO elementary school students along with lessons on the math and science of sailing.  

 

The NSHoF is looking for the donation of two Optimist dinghies which will be put onto custom cradles to create land cruisers to take to elementary schools to promote sailing in conjunction with a lesson on the science of sailing. The rigs need to be functional, but the hulls can be older and in need of minor repairs. Rudders are optional as they will be cut shorter, but tillers are still necessary.

 

Boats can be donated either to the NSHOF or EYC Foundation, both of which are 501(c)3 and can issue letters of donation.

 

Contact Susan Nahmias, Education Director at the National Sailing Center & Hall of Fame by calling 410-295-3022 or emailing susan.nahmias@nshof.org for more information.
