Fleet 73 is honored to announce we will once
again be hosting the
Eastern Great Lakes
Championship
July 19-20, 2008
The “Raw Bar Regatta”
    
This event will be hosted by J/22 fleet 73,
at the Buffalo Yacht Club's new facility and in conjunction with the
Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club. The local fleet of J/22's has grown to
over 30 boats. The regatta, conveniently scheduled the weekend before
the
Level regatta in Youngstown
allows J/22's from other cities to bring their boat to the Buffalo/
Niagara region and participate in two great regattas! The Event in
Buffalo will begin on Friday evening with a BBQ, the racing starts
Saturday morning, followed by an awesome party at the
Buffalo Yacht Club, with a dinner
and Raw Bar being offered, of course with a great band and great fun.
Sunday it will be back out to the race course for more great sailing on
Lake Erie, followed by the awards ceremony.

J/22 Fleet 73 is
located in Buffalo, NY on Lake Erie and is made up of boats from the
Buffalo
Yacht Club and the
Buffalo Harbor Sailing
Club. The local J/22’s number over 30 boats in the Buffalo Harbor area.
 The
Buffalo Yacht Club recently finished the installation of two fully automated
three ton cranes and the completion of a dry sail area. Fleet 73 members
now have the option of dry sailing their boats at the BYC and the fleet now
has the facilities available to run a first-rate regatta for out of town
boats.
The fleet
sails on Tuesday nights from the end of May into the month of September as
part of the Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club’s China Light/One Design program,
regularly drawing over 20 J/22’s for the evening’s two races. The fleet
also sails on Wednesday nights as a one design fleet with the Buffalo Harbor
Sailing Club, with considerably less attendance, due to a number of skippers
with larger boats that race in other fleets. Once the
official races end, the fleet continues to sail Saturday mornings into the
fall.
