About Fleet 10 - Chesapeake Bay, Maryland

J80 Fleet 10 represents the Chesapeake Bay Area centralized around Annapolis Maryland with one of the strongest fleets in the North American Class with a solid number of boats including some from the J/World Sailing School. J/World offers sailboat handling, racing and basic training courses on J80s.

A Feb 2021 letter from Fleet 10 Fleet Captain, Shannon Lockwood:

Hello Fleet 10, and Happy Sunday! 

I hope some of you are getting ready to kick off the second half of Frostbite Racing with the weather finally cooperating today! Enjoy the sunshine!!

For the rest of us still dreaming of sailing, the fleet officers have pulled together our fleet calendar for 2021. We are hopeful that many more of us will be able to get back on the water safely as vaccines roll out and the weather warms up! 

The attached Excel document should look somewhat familiar, as it closely mirrors our 2020 calendar, with the addition of a few items. I have added a number of out of town events, which while they don't constitute events for our CBYRA High-Point series, may be of interest to some. I've also included local charity events for which we have not guaranteed participation, but want to encourage our members to participate if they are able! 

Many of the events on the attached spreadsheet are already open for registration! If you do plan to participate, I would encourage you to sign up in advance so that we can determine which events require additional "encouragement" to ensure we have enough boats on the line to guarantee a start! I will continue to make updates as they become available and share with the fleet. 

While we understand that the continuing presence of COVID-19 in our communities will continue to discourage some from sailing or racing, we are hopeful that the vaccine rollouts will allow many of us to return to sailing (and perhaps social gatherings) later this year. For those of you not yet ready to return, please know that we completely understand and are eager for your return when you feel safe to do so! For those of you already sailing, and eager for social events, please know that we may consider adding "something fun" later this year, if deemed appropriate and allowable within CDC/WHO recommendations. 

This past Thursday, AYC hosted a Racing Rules of Sailing "What's New This Year webinar, discussing changes made in the RRS's newest version published for 2021. If you are interested in viewing the recording, it is available on AYC's Vimeo channel, here: https://vimeo.com/513850351/3b32701e77

Please let me know if you have any questions! I will be following up with an email about 2021 dues collection as soon as we sort out our banking logistics, following John Potvin's resignation as Treasurer. 

Thank you all! Have a great rest of your weekend! 

Shannon

P.S. Should you wish to be removed from this mailing list, please let me know!
