Brian Ankrom on Friday July 21, 2017 04:17PM

2017 Women Only Sailing Weekend - Sept. 23-24

Brian Ankrom on Tuesday July 18, 2017 09:27PM

There is nothing, half as much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.....with a group of women, that is!

Come and join your fellow FBYC women sailors in our "Second Annual Women Only Sailing Weekend" September 23-24, 2017. We will hope to call up the same great food, fantastic weather and inspiring companionship that magically came together last fall. But even if the weather is less than ideal, we still will have a wonderful weekend, sharing stories and learning how to become even more confident women who sail.

Right now we have three skippers who can take about eight additional women. We would LOVE to have another woman or two who is …

Make One Design Great Again !

Joe Nelson on Thursday July 13, 2017 10:04AM

Look who is making One Design great again! Last month, while competing at the Flying Scot Nationals in Sandusky, Ohio, John Wake sailed as crew for John Aras of Annapolis. They ended the regatta in an astonishing fifth position. Meanwhile, at the same event with 68 boats competing, husband and wife team, Len and Barb Guenther, finished in twelfth spot. Well done team FBYC! It looks like One Design is already great!

On another note, more recently, a number of sailors have been concerned about boats rushing in to the mark roundings at the last second and hacking into boats. This Rushin’ Hacking, as it is called, is of grave concern and threatens the foundation of our program. For …

4th Annual Wee Dram Cruise | Race

Jim Raper on Tuesday July 11, 2017 09:27AM

The Wee Dram will again venture to Cape Charles, VA on August 12th…their slips are a confirmed 18’ depth. We have reserved ‘C’ dock at the Town Harbor and if we should need more slips, those are available. https://www.capecharlesharbor.com/facilities/

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

To emphasize the cruising aspect of the ‘getting there’, and to assure a worthy recipient of the 2017 Wee Dram burgee, each boat will submit two scavenger hunt tickets naming items typically found on a proper cruising vessel…i.e. in-boom furling, electric winch, a third anchor, water maker, microwave, rail mounted grill, dingy …

Website migration - online registration links changed

Strother Scott on Tuesday July 4, 2017 04:33PM

As a continuing part of the migration from the old website https://www.fbyc.net/ to the new one https://new.fbyc.net/, we have changed the actual links used when you register for an event. Previously the URL was rather short and ended with a 4 digit number followed by /enter. We have decided not to use event numbers to define events, so we have changed the actual letters in the registration link. For instance when you register for the 78th Annual Regatta the link is https://new.fbyc.net/events/170812-onedesign-78th-annual-one-design-regatta/enter/ and the link to register for the Aug 19 Smith Point Race is https://new.fbyc.net/events/170819-offshore-smith-point-race/enter/.
