Introducing the Choptank Duet – a doublehanded sailing race scheduled for Saturday, June 22. Each team will consist of one man and one woman. The Notice of Race will be posted on the CYC and ESSA websites around June 1. So, talk it up, recruit your team and get ready to race the Duet!
This year the Choptank Fleet will be using the predefined list of 32 courses. The Skipper’s Guide from 2023 will be in effect for 2024. The list is organized from Zero degrees Magnetic to 360 degrees.
On occasion, the Race Committee may decide to customize the racecourse depending on weather conditions. Print a copy of the list and keep it in your boat. Skippers are expected to have the list. The committee boat will only post and announce the course number on VHF Channel 72.
Before each start, all skippers must report their boat name with the race Committee.
Races typically start at 6:00 PM and 6:07 PM.
We strongly encourage all sailors, including skippers and crew, become members of ESSA.

NEW: For the 2024 Racing Season, we have adopted the ORR-EZ handicapping system. We are super excited about this change as it will allow the rating to be adjusted to compensate for the wind conditions, as well as the course chosen, resulting in greater competition.
