American Yacht Club was a new event and everyone traveled to the regatta in october. 2008 Atlantic Coast Results FYI, BYC is Bristol Yacht Club LHYC is Lake Hopactong Yacht Club WRSA is West River Sailing Association Don't hold me exact club membership! These are the active racers There are others who only sail club events.

Posts: 1,253 Columbia South Carolina, USA | Anything planned for summer of fall that we could all meet in the middle? West River seems to be closest to me, not sure how far the Florida boys travel, if they travel at all. If I lived in Fla, I would find it hard to travel north to sail...

Posts: 3,116 Annapolis, MD | The summer is the summer and I would not advise making a special trip north unless you really want to travel north.... Our view is also to go north and so we get 5 or 6 boats to go north to Bristol RI in August This is the best chance for breeze... (and certain butt kicking)
Schedule is April, West River May, Gunpowder May North Americans June West River June Rock Hall YC July Cambridge YC July Corsica River YC August Bristol RI, Sept West River YC Sept West River YC Sept 50th Aniversary of Roten Point YC Sept Lake Hopactong YC Oct West River YC Oct American Yacht Club (Southern Connecticut 1 hour North NYC)
I think the Va Beach guys are the ones who can swing either way easily. They host a late May regatta but the NA's conflict this year (EMSA and Fleet 32 Sail the Bay regatta). I would coordinate with those guys about a travel regatta.
In general.... I think the schedule would be great if West River continued with their event on the last weekend of April and Va Beach had a regatta at the end of May... Bristol Ri in August and Hopactong and American YC in Sept and October.
