Eastport Yacht Club will again host the Chesapeake Bay Women's Challenge to be held July 7-8, 2007, to benefit CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates. Sign up to participate in two days of great sailing -- and partying -- for a great cause. There will be lots of special prizes, a really special auction, great raffle items and great fun.

Let's help the kids!

 casaCASA is a private, non-profit program that recruits, screens, trains, and supervises community volunteers as they become advocates for victims of child abuse and neglect. CASA's function is to speak up for abused and neglected children in court proceedings and with the child welfare agency, so that these children will have the opportunity to live in safe, permanent, nurturing homes. boats

The regatta is open to any boat in the following classes:

  • PHRF Spinnaker
    • Up to three PHRF Spinnaker class splits/starts by handicap range will be assigned by the Race Committee
  • One Design

Classes of 22 feet or greater LOA may participate in One Design or PHRF and PHRF non-spinnaker. A minimum of four entries are required for a One Design start. Boats will be crewed by all women skippers and crew. There will be special prizes for the oldest and youngest boat and the oldest and youngest skipper.

In addition to the usual windward/leeward courses, the Race Committee will have a one day only navigators' race on Saturday, July 7, around the buoys, with a finish at EYC. Official race information is found at the CBYRA website. Eastport Yacht Club must receive entry fees and official CBYRA entry form as per the instructions.
