J/70 Chesapeake Champs Announcement!

J/70s sailing Fishing Bay YC on Chesapeake Bay (Fishing Bay, Virginia)- Fishing Bay YC would like to invite you to the 2015 J/70 Chesapeake Bay Championship.  Following on the success of last year’s event, we have planned what we hope to be an excellent regatta. We expect a strong group of competitors from around the Bay as well as from places afar.

This year the date has been moved up to October 3-4 while fall sailing conditions are at their peak.  Fishing Bay YC is ideally situated at the mouth of the Piankatank River at the Chesapeake Bay offering a variety of sailing areas to suit the conditions. The water temperature will still be mild and the breezes should allow for excellent racing.

We will be offering continental breakfast in the mornings prior to racing and dinner on Saturday evening.  Of course, FBYC will have our famous regatta bar set up throughout the event, beginning at check-in on Friday afternoon.
