Some FBYC sailors, eager to attend Preview Day at the 50th Annapolis Boat Show, will be meeting to drive up to Annapolis on Thursday, October 10, 2019. We're parking our cars and gathering at:
Barnes & Noble parking lot
9850 Brook Road
Glen Allen, VA
7 AM SHARP!
We plan to arrive when the show opens and will return sometime before 10 PM. It's a long, fun-filled day where we can shop, learn and dream together. Members of FBYC's cruising fleet will be sailing up so hopefully we can all grab a Painkiller at Pussers together and share some interesting finds.
This is a casual rendezvous to share drive time and costs. So just show up if you're interested in …
We were honored to be invited and excited to send some sailors to the Annapolis Yacht Club's 3-2-1 Invitational last weekend. The 3-2-1 was a combination match/team race event where teams of six sailors raced J22's and J30's in a very competitive round robin format. Match or team racing events will soon become a reality at FBYC with our own fleet of Flying Scots...but we could use a few more. (So if you have a rarely-sailed FS you'd like to donate, please let us know.)
In the meantime, thanks to Austin Powers, Mike Toms, Ben Buhl, Parker Garrett, Blake Kimbrough et al for representing us up north.

It's hard to believe but FBYC's two season-capping events are just around the corner.
Mark your calendars for our Closing Day Regatta & Oyster Roast on November 2, 2019. This event is always fun-filled, whether you're pursuit racing 'round the marks or just coming to slurp, shuck or dress up local oysters to your liking.
Then, get ready to rock on November 16, 2019 for the Annual Meeting and Commodore's Ball. We're "mixing up the race course" with a new location at the Hippodrome Theater. Located in Richmond's Jackson Ward, the Hippodrome promises excitement and history, not to mention great food and music.
Register now on-line for both events. The season's never really over now is it!

Our 2019 Cornhole Tournament was a great success under gorgeous skies on the main clubhouse lawn! A record setting 14 teams came out to battle for the coveted ultimate prize of Mount Gay Black Label. After a couple hours of high intensity competition our club champions were crowned.
Congratulations to this year's championship team, "The Sticky Bandits,"Miles Kimbrough and Malcolm Cobb. Our runner up was team "One Trick Pony," who on the sidelines amassed the largest spectator section of fellow sailors cheering on their teammates. Finally, in third place on the podium was the Whorley Family.
Thanks to everyone who came out and participated in the fun; and special thanks to our event leads Mary Catherine & …

It's rewarding to have so many FBYC boats and crews along with boats from around the Bay proving their prowess during this past weekend's Stingray Point Regatta. The camp ground was full of visiting crews, the food was delicious, the music was rocking and the sailing was challenging--as light air always brings out the best sailing skills.
Thanks to Becca Doncaster and her volunteers for arranging a great event; to Mike Karn and race committee for getting off four races flawlessly; and Massey Whorley for a wonderful party. Full results are available on the FBYC.net website
The Jere Dennison Legacy Regatta on August 24 showcased the skills of our seasoned skippers over 60 years old and honored former commadore Jere Dennison.

We are proud to call you mentors, members and friends.
