The annual three-day event features one-design racing, where teams compete in races against identical boats.

Every year, hundreds of local, regional and national sailors register to compete in the Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta Annapolis, vying for top marks in a wide array of classes and a chance at the Overall Winner title, which earns the winning team a berth at the Helly Hansen Caribbean NOOD Championship Regatta in the British Virgin Islands, Oct. 27-Nov. 1.
