Some FBYC sailors, eager to attend Preview Day at the 50th Annapolis Boat Show, will be meeting to drive up to Annapolis on Thursday, October 10, 2019.  We're parking our cars and gathering at:

Barnes & Noble parking lot

9850 Brook Road

Glen Allen, VA

7 AM SHARP!

We plan to arrive when the show opens and will return sometime before 10 PM.  It's a long, fun-filled day where we can shop, learn and dream together.  Members of FBYC's cruising fleet will be sailing up so hopefully we can all …

Many thanks to all 2019 Stingray Point Regatta sponsors!

We were honored to be invited and excited to send some sailors to the Annapolis Yacht Club's 3-2-1 Invitational last weekend. The 3-2-1 was a combination match/team race event where teams of six sailors raced J22's and J30's in a very competitive round robin format.  Match or team racing events will soon become a reality at FBYC with our own fleet of Flying Scots...but we could use a few more.

It's hard to believe but FBYC's two season-capping events are just around the corner.  

Mark your calendars for our Closing Day Regatta & Oyster Roast on November 2, 2019.  This event is always fun-filled, whether you're pursuit racing 'round the marks or just coming to slurp, shuck or dress up local oysters to your liking.

Then, get ready to rock on November 16, 2019 for the Annual Meeting and Commodore's Ball. We're "mixing up the race course" with a new location at the Hippodrome Theater.  Located in Richmond's Jackson Ward …

2. Plenty of room to rig and launch
3. An open racing area with little power boat traffic
4. A solid and experienced race committee
5. Space to camp
6. Hot breakfast Saturday & Sunday
7. Camaraderie of seeing friends every year

Congratulations to this year's championship team, "The Sticky Bandits," Miles Kimbrough and Malcolm Cobb.  Our runner up was team "One Trick Pony," who on the sidelines amassed the largest spectator section of fellow sailors cheering on their teammates. Finally, in …
