The Preliminary 2010 Schedule is posted.

Herreschoff Fall Regatta - September 11, 2010

Yacht Club Team Race Challenge - Sep 25 & 26, 2010

AYC Fall Series - October 2/3, 9/10, 16/17, 2010

Begun in 1940, the AYC Fall Series has always been a major event for Bay sailors.  For years it was a must do stop for boats headed south to sail the SORC over the winter.  Fall Series remains a staple of late season racing in the Chesapeake region.  Held on the first three weekends in October in continues to attract a large high quality fleet of handicap and cruising one design boats.

Etchells/Star Fall Regatta - October 30 & 31, 2010

This regatta was instituted in 2003 to celebrate the formation of Etchells Fleet 28.  Although the Etchells was designed by Skip Etchells, a Bay sailor, there had never been a fleet of Etchells on the Chesapeake Bay.  Mary Etchells, Skip's wife, presented the trophy to the winning boat in the event.  Stars and Etchells coexist nicely on the same race course, so the Star class was added to the regatta in 2004.

J/105 Chesapeake Bay Championship - October 20 & 31, 2010

This traditional season finale for the J/105 fleet provides great racing and a final tune-up for the travellers heading south for the winter events.
