As of 6:00 am the forecast is still for northwest winds at 30 mph. I truly regret that we must cancel the Long Distance race scheduled for today. The weather should improve by this afternoon so plan on attending the cookout!

We have been closely watching the track of Hurricane Arthur and will continue to do so to determine if we can safely conduct the Long Distance race scheduled for Friday. I expect to make a final decision by 8:00 am tomorrow morning and any changes to the program will be posted on the front page of the website. Thank you for your patience and please remember that even if there is not a race there will still be a great party that you will not want to miss!

I am completely amazed how rich the "Corinthian spirit" has been at our club and how many members are volunteering for our upcoming two day regatta. After a year of being bound by a computer our kids finally have the opportunity to be on the water again to represent our amazing sailing program and club. We are hosting the Virginia State Championship which is also the season opener for CBYRA. With registration open for about a month we have been successfully amassing an army of volunteers to serve over 100 sailors along with their family and friends. As far as the eye can see will be an armada of kids geared and ready to give it their all June 26-27th …
