REGISTER - CLICK HERE

Things are really getting exciting in anticipation of the 108^th Admiral Byrd Regatta at Cambridge Yacht Club, July 19 through the 21^st.  We’re expecting 40-50 boats to race that weekend including PHRF boats as well as at least five one design classes.

On Friday 7/19 afternoon/evening, Opti’s will race followed by team Laser racing.  Later that evening in the Gazebo we’re bringing Charles Kavoossi over from Annapolis.  Charles is more than just a singer/songwriter.  As a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for composing, his songs pack unique and technical experiences between catchy choruses that are bound to get stuck in your head.  He’ll certainly be playing our favorites as well.

Saturday the PHRF boats along with the Hampton, Comet, and Shield one design classes will race starting in the morning.  There are several other one-design fleets considering and certainly, it’s not too late to get your favorite group involved!

We’re doing it straight up proper with two accredited PROs working with us from Eastport Yacht Club and two accredited protest judges also coming from Annapolis. 

Saturday evening will feature Gazebo libations and grub (dinner comp’ed for Captains), trophy presentations, not to mention the widely acclaimed and known Big Money Band who always rock the house with an exciting blend of Electric Blues, Classic Rock and Country, Soul, Oldies, and Old School R & B.  A guaranteed good time!

Sunday we round out the weekend with a ten-mile pursuit race down river to the Spider at the mouth of the Tred Avon River.  You’re not going to want to miss this weekend!

OH!  We should mention that weekend we’ll also be celebrating the 50^th anniversary of that “Giant Leap for Mankind!”

Details and registration information (which is now open), can be found at CambridgeYachtClub.org or by contacting the Regatta email at CYCMDRegatta@gmail.com
