The sixth annual EWE Spirit Cup unfolds Saturday, May 16 off Annapolis. The hosts, Sailing Club of the Chesapeake and the EWE Spirit Foundation, have set a goal to have 75 boats on the line for this fun pursuit race around government marks.

The pursuit course is open to any wind-powered boat. There will be spin and non-spin and one-design for any class that has five or more entries. You will have the option of sailing clockwise or counter-clockwise. A river course will be set for Harbor 20s and Melges 15s.
Organizers hope to make this year’s edition their largest event yet, and that means they need your help! Past participants are challenged with inviting one new boat onto the racecourse. Sailors are also encouraged to participate in peer to peer fundraising with their teams to help the EWE Spirit Foundation meet their $40,000 goal.
After racing, sailors are invited to a fun after-race gathering at Horn Point Marina to celebrate their racing accomplishments, win fun awards for the best “Stepping Out Shirts,” and help to fund local charities—to do good and have fun! Awards will be presented for PHRF Spin and Non-Spin and any one-design class with five or more entries by May 13. An award will also be presented to the top boat with junior sailors aboard.
The mission of the EWE Spirit Foundation is to honor the legacy of Geoff Ewenson by helping those facing immediate hardship bridge financial and social support gaps.
