Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club and Marblehead Yacht Club invite sailors to participate in the Downeast Challenge, a long distance overnight sailboat race of 100 nautical miles starting in Marblehead on Friday, Aug 2 with finish and awards party Saturday, Aug 3 at BHYC. The event is sponsored by Rising Tide Brewery and Rumson's Rum. This is a great way to challenge yourself with long distance overnight sailing in PHRF racing, cruising and short-handed divisions. The 100nm distance makes this a qualifier for ocean races like the Marblehead to Halifax or Newport to Bermuda.

| | 8:00 AM-12:00 PM | | | |  | Intro to Sailing
The Intro to Sailing course is intended for people with little to no sailing experience. There is no class work or textbook – just on-the-water experience. Each boat will include an experienced instructor with up to three students. The Intro course provides an opportunity to confirm an initial interest in sailing and make the decision to commit to the more comprehensive learn-to-sail Basic Keelboat course.
Topics covered include boat familiarization, sailing theory, and boat handling - steering, tacking, and jibing. | | |
