5th Annual WEE DRAM RACE/CRUISE
Saturday, August 25, - Sunday, August 26, 2018

 

Amended August 15, 2018

The Wee Dram will venture on August 25th to Cape Charles.

This is a non-spinnaker, single headsail event.  All crew are to overnight aboard the boat.   

This remains a casual cruise/race format with a formal (shorts and tee shirts – no holes) social Saturday afternoon.

As votes for the most inspiring brown bag are being tallied, adjusted cruising elapsed times will be determined and the 2018 Wee Dram burgee awarded along with what remains of the contents in the winning brown bag to the boat with lowest cruising adjusted time – LCAT.

Start:  Each boat will start herself and record the time that the bow of the boat crosses a line extending on a bearing of 1800ºM to FBYC A (Q G 15ft 4M "5"), FBYC A Left to Starboard.

Course:  Wolf Trap Light is not a mark of the course and may be left to either Port or Starboard. 

Finish:  Each boat will record their finish time as they cross the finish line which is a line to G “1CC” Fl G 2.5s (marking the entrance of the Cherrystone Inlet Channel and Cape Charles Harbor) on a bearing of 0ºM.

The social on the dock will begin at 5:30 PM.  Each boat will bring an appetizer to share, and one brown bag bottle of their favorite Scotch Whisky for the contest within the contest.
