Friday Oct. 1: Miles River Yacht Club Activities
10:00 AM, Wye Island Race. Approximately 24 miles distance. Race starts and finishes at the Miles River Yacht Club, website www.milesriveryc.org. The club is located just north of St. Michaels on Yacht Club Road. There is a launch ramp on the premises, but it is sandy, so a 4-wheel drive is suggested. Otherwise, you may launch at the town docks located on Chew Street and motor to the yacht club. Boats may overnight on Thursday, but space may be limited. Typically a few of the participating boats can take on passengers, so feel free to come out even if you don’t have a boat. A 10 minute mandatory rest stop is located at the mid-point of the course, a launch ramp is also located there in case someone needs to take on or put off passengers or make an emergency stop. This year, we will give out four awards: 1. Single hull overall best time, 2. Multi-hull best time, 3.Single hull best time (handicapped by waterline length). There will be a chase boat on hand to lend any assistance needed. Course charts will be handed out prior to race. A cell phone and GPS are recommended equipment.
7:00-9:00 PM, Awards and Dinner. Held at the Miles River Yacht Club. A buffet is available or dinner can be ordered off the menu.
Plan to stay for Saturday's Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival held at teh St. mihaels maritime museum.
