2019 Racing Calendar Chesapeake Bay

Ready To Race?

Here is the preliminary 2019 racing calendar for the Chesapeake Bay for larger events. 

Know that we at SpinSheet are the messengers, not the schedulers, so these dates are subject to change and revision. Don’t shoot the messenger! But do shoot us news anytime to [email protected], as we can and will update this list quickly.

Find an extensive Southern Bay CBRYA region 4 North Division schedule here  (thanks to the York River Yacht Club for posting) and CBYRA region 4 South Division here.  

We will include significant dinghy events as they come in as well--we recommend keeping your eye on websites such as that of Severn Sailing Association. We’ve also included a couple of far-flung favorites for Chesapeake sailors, such as the first on our list! CBYRA-sanctioned events are in bold-face:
