Annual One Design Regatta

The 64th Annual One Design Regatta held on August 9 & 10 can go down as a fun and successful event. In near ideal conditions, 82 boats in nine divisions raced two days in 8 - 15 knot breezes in FBYC's premiere One Design event. Of the 82 boats, 35 represented Fishing Bay. The largest class at the event was the Flying Scots with 18 boats. Two visiting classes were Hamptons with 13 boats and Albacores with 9 boats.

The race committees did an outstanding job running at least 7 races on the three race courses. It was great to have the club's flagship, Mr. Roberts, back on the starting line. Results of the regatta can be found on the website.

As with any event, it wouldn't have been as successful without those that helped to make it so. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped with planning and organizing, registration, ordering and selling t-shirts, parking, launching and retrieval of boats, trophies, scoring, the social committees for meals and entertainment, and the clean up crews. Let's keep the strong showing of FBYc boats on into the Fall Series that begins Sunday, September 14.

See you on the water!
