A meeting was held this past weekend to wrap up the
final details of the new FBYC event -- Team Racing.
This will be an interclub event with teams from FBYC
and RRYC competing in this two race day series held in
Flying Scots. The first race day will be held at FBYC
on Sunday, June 29th. The second and final day will
be at the RRYC on Sunday, July 27th. Awards and a
cookout will follow the at the end of each day. There
will also be an overall trophy for the winning team at
the conclusion of the series.We will have a four boat team from each club, with multiple races on each day. Since this will be open to all sailors of FBYC, there will be an qualifying/ elimination race on Sunday, June 22nd for all those interested in participating. Also, there will be a seminar for team racing rules and tactics - time and location has not yet been firmed up.
If you are interested in this team racing event, please contact Debbie Cycotte by Monday evening, June 9th, at dcycotte@yahoo.com or call in the evenings @ 804-776-7098. This would be for both skipper and crew positions.
We are also in need of Flying Scot sailboats to be used for this event. Rappahannock River YC will be bringing at least 3 of their own boats over for this but we will need to have at least 4 - 5 boats from our fleet. Please contact Debbie Cycotte if you can make your boat available.
