# 456 SOUTHERN BAY RACING NEWS YOU CAN USE

Lin Mccarthy on Monday August 17, 2009 10:53AM

Watch Out - Summer is trying to slip away. Go racing now!!

FBYC 70th ANNUAL ONE-DESIGN REGATTA - It was a big weekend for small boat one-design racing on the Rappahannock River this past weekend. An assortment of 56 Albacores, Flying Scots, Frontrunners, Mobjacks, Typhoons and San Juan 21s showed up to race in this 70 year old event. Even though Saturday, like just about everywhere south of the Virginia-Maryland border, proved to be a challenge weather-wise on the Rapp, the fleets got in 5 or 6 races and competition in each fleet was hot and heavy. For a detailed report of each of the fleets, please check out the Fishing Bay Yacht Club website at www.fbyc.net …

Staying close by home for LABOR DAY WEEKEND? Here a couple of special southern Bay options that will help balance budgets as well as family end-of-summer demands. Both events have been around for awhile:

15th ANNUAL STINGRAY POINT REGATTA - Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6): Since its beginning 15 years ago, the Stingray Point Regatta has been near and dear in southern Bay racers' hearts. The unique setting at Fishing Bay Yacht Club, the special attention to pre-and post-race social activities, and two-days (Saturday and Sunday) of good, round-the-buoys racing guarantees a great weekend. And, organizers have left Monday, the actual holiday, open for a return delivery home. Stingray Point offers starts for all PHRF classes …

Strother Scott on Wednesday August 5, 2009 01:37PM

The Ephraim Yacht Club, Ephraim WI, is hosting the Flying Scot NACs August 1-7, 2009 and they have a pretty good event web site located at http://www.eyc.org/fsnac/.

Results for the Qualifying Series is already posted - as are a raft of pictures on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ephraimyachtclub/collections/72157621921345932/.

It is also interesting that they, like us in 2007, prepared a On Line Powerpoint Presentation promoting the event.

Second Day Qualifying at NACs

A helicopter shot of the two fleets. The start of the second fleet with first starters out front.

It may not look it from up here but it is blowing 18 to 24 down there. Had 5 boats capsize this one race.

Millers are leading the FBYC team. But it all starts a new tomorrow. Beautiful place.

FBYC Juniors Shine in Hyannis

Strother Scott on Monday August 3, 2009 04:47PM

Alain Vincey called in today and was so excited he could hardly stop speaking. Bottom line, he reported that the FBYC Junior Racing team had "swept" the racing at the Hyannis Yacht Club's Regatta for One-Design and PHRF classes. http://www.hyannisyachtclub.org Quoting HYC "This is the premier regatta on Cape Cod drawing boats from as far west as Chicago, as far south as Annapolis, and as far north as Canada." Perhaps HYC should have added "as far south as Deltaville, VA"

Results are posted at here.

In the Laser Radial - FBYC sailors got 2, 7, 11 and 12 (being Kyle Swenson, Ben Buhl, Madeleine Alderman, and Austin Powers) but I am told the contestants included adults, so …
