J/70 Fall Brawl Regatta Preview

J/70 one-design speedster- sailing one-design race (Annapolis, MD)- After enjoying your "Halloween Howl", be sure to join the first J/70 one-design event on Chesapeake Bay, the “Fall Brawl Regatta,” to be hosted by Eastport Yacht Club in Annapolis on November 3rd to 4th.  Bring your boats and leave them before you head farther south for the winter circuit, then be certain to stop back in Annapolis next spring for the Annapolis NOOD!  The local club members can offer ramp and lift launching and short and long-term storage options.

Fall is a wonderful time to race in the Chesapeake, with not only gorgeous fall colors on the trees but fast-moving frontal weather systems provide challenging breezes from the SE and NW during this time of year.  Furthermore, the Eastport YC will just have completed their brand-new clubhouse.  The club is expecting 25+ boats and hoping for more.  The incredibly, ridiculously low entry fee includes "lots of social stuff" for skipper and crew and sponsors Northpoint Yacht Sales, North Sails and J/World will be contributing toward prizes and festivities!!  The event promise not only great sailing but plenty of fun & games for the growing J/70 fleet on the Chesapeake Bay.  For more J/70 Fall Brawl sailing information and registration information
