Closing Day Regatta and Oyster Roast
Saturday October 25, 2025

This event is open to FBYC club members, and all sailors interested in racing their sailboat, developing their sailing skills and being part of a great sailing tradition on the Chesapeake Bay.

After racing, all are welcome to join in the Closing Day Oyster Roast. Bring a dish to share and enjoy local oysters while mingling with fellow sailors and members. Over the years, the shared dish competition has become a highlight, offering a delightful array of foods and flavors. Enter your dish in one of three categories—appetizers/savories, chili/crockpot, or desserts—for a chance at fame and a fabulous prize! There will also be hot dogs, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available.
