Be a part of the most fun regatta of the year.
The fifth EWE Spirit Cup, to be held on May 17, brings together excellent racing, a friendly atmosphere, and a fun party, all to support the mission of the EWE Spirit.
Organizers at the EWE Spirit Foundation in partnership with the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake plan a pursuit race off Annapolis, windward-leeward racing (for Harbor 20s and Melges 15s), an awesome party, and fundraising to give back directly to the community.
While competition on the water is strong, the real contest of fundraising wins the day with awards given for the team that raises the most money, the individual that raises the most money, the individual with the highest number of donations, and top finishes for Spin, Non-Spin, and One-Design fleets. Awards include La Spirit beer, brewed in honor of EWE Spirit and provided by Forward Brewing for all sailors of legal drinking age, to be collected after finishing from a separate committee boat approximately 50 yards northwest of the finish line. Enjoy it responsibly!
The EWE Spirit Foundation’s mission is to honor the legacy of Geoff Ewenson by helping those facing immediate hardship bridge financial and social support gaps through mentorship, outreach and financial assistance, thus creating a kind world where everyone has the resources and opportunity to live with dignity, hope, and joy. The organization has given nearly $500,000 to the community in its first four and a half years.
