Race to Baltimore Party Tickets 

Advanced party ticket sales close this Tuesday, July 15, as we need to give our caterer, Annapolis Smokehouse, a headcount. Food & Drinks or Drinks only tickets are available.  Only a limited number of Food & Drinks tickets will be available at the door. 

Bar selections will include Dark & Stormy’s, vodka or gin with various mixers, beers, hard seltzers, and some non-alcoholic beverages.

 

Race to Baltimore Hawaiian Shirts

Also available are custom designed R2B Hawaiian race shirts that have a collar and buttoned front. Available now by pre-order, a limited quantity will be available at the race party. I tried one on the other day, and they are SUPER comfortable! Because of the printing process, this year, once they’re gone, they’re gone! We will not be able to print any special orders.

Additional party details 

As for the past few years, the band "Better Weather" will be your evening's entertainment, courtesy of Anchorage Marina, and the POOL will be open!

Post-race dockage

For race participants, Anchorage Marina is offering free, four-hour dockage during the party and overnight dockage at a flat rate of $50. Please call 410.522-7200, to make a reservation and be sure to request the BCYA Race Discount.

 

Again, we look forward to seeing you next Saturday, we thank you for your support and participation, and we wish you the best of luck in the race!

Good evening, registered R2B Skipper!

 

Apologies for not sending this earlier this evening; SI Amendment 1 has been posted to NextSailor as well as the BCYA web site.  This amendment combines starting divisions for this year's race.

 

Good luck tomorrow and enjoy your race!
