CBYRA will also be soliciting feedback from skippers participating in our sanctioned races.  Our goal is to identify the good, the bad, and - yes - even the ugly, so that we can provide reliable feedback to the clubs and other organizing authorities to support continuous improvement in our offerings for Bay racers.  Please watch for regatta specific surveys. And check with your skipper.  If they don't get these email newsletters, they won't get the survey, so please make sure they sign up.    Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association 612 Third Street, 4A Annapolis, MD 21403 410.990.9393 office@cbyra.org
