Changes for 2022

 Hello, Racers!

We're almost there. The season starts in just over two weeks. May 4th is the big day!

Remember that we have a Competitor's Meeting scheduled for Wednesday. You can join the meeting over Zoom by using this link:

So what are these big changes? PHRF boats are due for some updates! 

First, we are changing the break between classes. If your PHRF rating is below 140, you will be racing in the A class. If it's over 140, you are racing in the B class. This should put more racer-cruiser-type boats in the B class and add a little more competition.  Our B class shrunk a bit over the last few years, so this should help. Like boats racing against each other should be fun too!

Second, we are moving back to three starts each night. We will start the Stars at about 6:10 pm, A class at 6:15, and B class at 6:20. This is the same sequence we used pre-pandemic, so nothing groundbreaking here. We want to be sure there are boats with similar speeds on the starting line at the same time.

Sign up for mark boat

 Hey!

Now is the time to sign up for mark boat duties for the summer. You can do that here:

> Sign up for mark boat here <

Each boat that competed last summer should sign up to help with mark boat once. I'm watching! Sign up.

You can sign up as the mark boat and the crew boat. If you have a boat and you want to use that boat to handle the marks, then sign up for make boat AND crew. If you don't have a boat to use, we can help you find a boat.

Sign up for when you're available and I'll help you fill in the boats.

Party tomorrow!

That's right - the Awards Party is tomorrow. The event is at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in the Boatshop.

Everything starts at 6 pm.

This is a potluck event, so we are not charging for food or drinks. 

• If your last name begins with an A-K, you should bring an appetizer
• If your last name begins with an L-Z, you should bring a dessert/salad
• If you want something other than beer, bring it with you!
• If you need something special to serve your food, bring it

Should be a fun evening. Hope you can make it!

Party on the 22nd

 That's right! The Awards Party is on October 22nd at 6 pm.

The Awards Party is at CBMM in and around their boatshop.

You should come to pick up your awards and enjoy festivities with all your friends! We will have a free keg, a firepit, and a band playing.

This is a potluck event, so we are not charging for food or drinks.

• If you need something special to serve your food, bring it

Feel free to get inventive! Just don't bring too much food, or you will be taking it home. No one has ever brought too many drinks.

The people in the boatshop have a band, and they will be playing! Plan to come for the evening and hang out. We'll have a fire pit going, and Jenn has offered to give people tours of the Dove project. 

Who should come? You and all your crew! Spouses and friends? Bring them! Other sailors like log canoers? Bring them! How about other people who enjoy boating and live in the area? Bring them! This is a boating community party.

We're working on paper products. With any luck, we'll supply items for eating. If you need something special, let us know.

There are probably more details. We'll send more info as we get it.
