Thank you for your input.

It has been brought to our attention that the BBYRA name is being used in an email scam. The scam is requesting that members of BBYRA purchase either gift certificates or send a check to a vendor. BBYRA will never solicit payments of this nature at any time. Posted 10/01/2019

PLEASE make sure your BBYRA emails are not going into your junk/spam folders. With every system update things like this can mysteriously change and you will not be getting your updates.
Thank you

Its important to have certificates and ratings within the current calendar year, so US Sailing will renew certificates in the new year when they are available, on or about January 10, 2021.

The renewal fee for 2021 is $100 payable to US Sailing, and current certificate holders will be contacted with instructions on renewal. Those who need a new certificate can apply at this link: https://form.jotform.com/72144318847157.

ORC makes adjustments to their database on an annual basis and those adjustments are across the board for all boats. If you are racing with an older certificate, then your numbers are not current with everyone else. ORC is a great rating system but needs to be current to be fair to all.

Please check the PDF Calendar for the latest updates in RED due to Covid-19

We have makeup dates in 2021 and are planning on providing a complete BBYRA series to all registered members

The following events are pending rescheduling:
KBYC BBYRA OD #1 - postponed due to weather (TBD)
BBYC BBYRA ORC #1 - Postponed due to weather (TBD)
BBYC Lime Cup Regatta - Abandoned until further notice
KBYC Round the Island Race - Postponed for a future date

Note: CRYC ORC #3 was run by the club. Only 1 boat in each class raced. Since two boats in each class did not score this will not count in the overall and will reduce the number of races required by 1.
