New Course List for 2021
This year the Choptank Fleet will be using a predefined list of 32 courses. Several courses were deleted due to lack of use and redundancy. Some have been modified and added to provide more reaching legs. The list has been reorganized from Zero degrees Magnetic to 360. So trash last year's list. This is a major edit.Laminated copies will be available after the Choptank Fleet meeting on April 21. Distribution will depend on COVID restrictions.
On occasion, the Race Committee may decide to customize the race course depending on weather conditions. Print a copy of the list and keep it in your boat. Skippers are expected to have the list. The committee boat will only post and announce the course number.

All courses end at "Z" (Zulu) which is located just north of the CYC and the municipal marina. Always leave "Z" to starboard. The finish line will be defined by the "Z" marker and a flag on the dock. Marker "G" and "B" will be a white flag buoys. Marker "Z" will be a yellow flag buoy.  |

CWDI ASKS FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON SAILWINDS DEVELOPMENT
Cambridge Waterfront Development, Inc.(CWDI) in partnership with BCTDesign Group, is launching an on-line survey asking for your ideas and opinions about the future of waterfront development at Sailwinds.

The survey website is https://www.bctdesigngroup.com/cambridge.
It can be accessed beginning December 10th. CWDI encourages you to go to the website and take advantage of the presentation information and complete the questionnaire on-line. If you prefer a paper copy of the questionnaire, please contact Sandra Tripp-Jones, Executive Director, at sandra.trippjones@cwdimd.org or 805-453-4480.
