On October 18-19 Bayview will be hosting the inaugural Great Lakes Team Racing Championship placing one of the most exciting racing formats in the Detroit River right off the front lawn.
Teams of three boats each will face off head-to-head resulting in tactical, dynamic racing for both participants and spectators. Team racing is a great way to demonstrate our area's prowess in sailboat racing, and it's a ton of fun.
The biggest key to this regatta's success is getting the right competition on the water, which is why we have invited clubs from across the Great Lakes that have demonstrated a history of racing success. Only six teams from six distinct regions of the Great Lakes will ultimately compete, so the competition will be tough.
To determine the DRYA Region's team make up we are holding a qualifying regatta to be held at Bayview Yacht Club on October 12th. The format for this regatta will mirror the championship format as reflected in the
NOR and will be sailed in Ultimate 20's.
