DESCRIPTION

The Sears Cup is the U. S. Junior Championship for triple-handed boats, the F. Greg Bemis Cup is double-handed boats and the D. Verner Smythe Trophy is for single-handed boats. The final Smythe and Bemis Cup Championships will be held in Lasers and 420s in South Dartmouth, MA. The Sears Championships will be held at in Colchester, VT in Lightning's. See www.ussailing.org/championships/

CBYRA REGIONALS

The CBYRA Regionals for all three cups will be on a date and location to be announced by CBYRA.

FBYC PLANS

FBYC should aspire to send at least 2 teams to one or more of the three CBYRA Regional's. The Sears regatta will use Lightning's this year, which may preclude a FBYC team. The Bemis will be in Club 420s. We can practice during Junior week and use the FBYC 420s! We will be forming teams in early June.

The Smythe will be in Lasers. We hope to build our Laser Fleet this year.

Contact Ruthanna Jenkins if you are interested in joining the teams for these championships.
