DESCRIPTION

This is typically a large regatta that drew 53 or more Optimist sailors in 2007 as well as large Laser Radial and 420 fleets.  The Optimists have their own course as do the Optimists Green Fleeters.  Laser Radial and 420s are on a separate course far out in the river.  Both Optimist courses are typically visible from shore.

FBYC PLANS

We will try and reach the venue a day in advance to allow for on-site practice.  FBYC volunteers and coaches will transport the boats. In 2007 most parents and kids stayed at the Comfort Suites in Centreville, MD, about 20 minutes away.

DIRECTIONS

Cross the Bay Bridge. At the Route 50 split (near Queenstown), take Rt. 301. Stay on Rt. 301 and take the Rt. 213 exit towards Centreville. Continue on Rt. 213 through Centreville, and turn left at Spaniard's Neck Road (the first left up the big hill on the way out of town). Watch for the club burgee and also WATCH FOR DEER! There is a hard right turn in the road after about three miles (slow down). Go .5 miles to the first left (there is a Conquest Beach sign and CRYC burgee pointing the way). Go left .5 miles and bear left with the hardtop road. You will pass several houses on your right and a green and white sign that says "Conquest Beach." The turn for Conquest is just down the road on the right and is marked "Conquest Beach." There are two brick pillars and a swing gate.
