12 Metre Regatta - 2015 Edgartown Race Weekend Edgartown Yacht Club
Regularly attracting entrants from the Eastern Seaboard and beyond, Edgartown Race Weekend delivers exceptional racing opportunities for IRC, PHRF Spinnaker, PHRF Non-Spinnaker and HPR handicap divisions (specific classes for Double-Handed, One Design, and Classic yachts are added when at least three entries are entered for each), with ‘Round-the-Buoy Races on Thursday and Friday (July 23-24) and a 56 nautical mile ‘Round-the-Island Race, which circumnavigates Martha’s Vineyard, on Saturday (July 25). A Welcome Reception on Wednesday night (July 22), the Mount Gay-sponsored “Jump-Up” Party on Friday night, and award ceremonies on both Friday and Sunday (July 26) round out the schedule for competitors who are entered in one or the other, or both, of the racing sessions. (Sailors can also compete for trophies in just one or the other of the two ‘Round-the-Buoy days.)
Deadline for entry is July 22 for the former and July 24 for the latter. (No registration fee is required for the ‘Round-the-Buoy Races.) For more information, go to http://www.rtirace.org or contact raceadministrator@edgartownyc.org
