DESCRIPTION This is a single day of racing including a One Design training session. If we can't be in the Caribbean, we might as well be on the Chesapeake! Join us for a Caribbean-inspired regatta. Ability grouped fleets (A and B fleets) will be in effect during this race for classes that elect this option prior to the start of the event.

CLASSES Flying Scot, Front Runner as well as any class of any three or more like or unlike One-Design boats.

Flying Scot) and race against them under the Portsmouth system. The parent class will still maintain their own separate class scoring.
