SPECIAL REMINDER for racers and cruisers of this upcoming Chesapeake Bay favorite, the annual TURKEY SHOOT REGATTA, October 5-7, 2012, hosted by Yankee Point Marina TURKEY SHOOT is a gathering of classic design (design is at least 25 years old) sailboats to race, socialize, have a darned good time, and support a very, very good cause (all profits go to sponsoring Hospices). Racing is on Saturday (drop mark triangle course) and Sunday (pursuit course). Three Divisions are planned – Lightning, Flying Cloud A and Flying Cloud B – with Fleets assigned within each Division. Lightning Division boats must have a current valid PHRF rating from PHRF of the Chesapeake. The overall winner of the Lightning Division qualifies for the National Hospice Regatta. All three Division (overall) winners’ names will be engraved on the TURKEY SHOOT trophy. There will be Fleet awards also.
Check-in and Welcome Party is Friday, October 5th, 5:30pm (entertainment begins at 7:00pm). Saturday and Sunday breakfasts (7:30am) are complimentary for skippers and crew of Turkey Shoot Regatta boats. There will be post-race parties, T-shirts, awards, hats, and all things regatta. A special visitor, the GODSPEED, will be on hand and giving tours throughout the weekend. Shore side happenings will include activities for the kids, too. Get yourself, friends and crew to the TURKEY SHOOT – it’s a gobbling good regatta!
