Friday nights are race nights for a collective of Haven Harbour Marina slipholders, customers and local community members. From early May to early September, this weekly tradition and opportunity for friendly competition has been happening off Rock Hall's shores for many seasons.
The contests, open to all area sailors, are scored events that largely take place to the south and west of Huntingfield Point.
Starting sharp at 6:00 p.m., the typical race can take many forms, with close to a dozen potential courses from which the group can choose. Some races are set along the longest route – five miles – beginning at Swan Creek Entrance Buoy Red 4 before heading south to Entrance Buoy Green 3, then westward off to Upper Chesapeake Channel Buoy Red 4, coming about and following the same track back to the starting point, doubling as the finish line.
Completed total of 10 races this season, we won the series in 2021.
