Fellow Boston Harbor Handicap Fleet Members and Sports Fans,

Now that Phase I is in our wake (and hopefully gone for good) and that the Commonwealth has initiated Step 1 of Phase II Corvid reopening, Boston Harbor Handicap Racing is looking to resume racing on Wednesday nights.  However, the current regulations do not appear to lift the prohibition on organized racing and given our understanding of what may be included on Phase III,  we hope to start the 2020 Wednesday Night Series on Wednesday July 1^st (based on an anticipated start of Phase III on June 29^th).

As we approach that date, we will schedule a virtual “skippers meeting”, provide a new Notice of Race (to be posted on Regatttman.com) and share any additional requirements that may be imposed by the Phase III orders.  The good news is as of today, boating with friends (or at least folks not living under the same roof) is now permitted under Phase II (social distancing and face coverings rules still apply), so our RC boats can be properly staffed. 

Please note that we are trying to clarify the state regulations that apply to us and are in communication with the harbormaster, other clubs and Mass Bay Sailing Association. Our plans may change, and we will communicate these to you if and when that happens.

Given the late start, we anticipate only one series this summer and will accordingly reduce the entry fee to $75 ($5 discount with MBSA membership). That equates to $5.84 per race planned for MBSA members.   Based on a July 1 start date, the one series will include 15 scheduled races (with or without the Rumbles – the fate of which is currently uncertain).

Given the continuing prohibition on organized races,  CPYC, Boston Harbor Handicap Racing discourages participating in Rogue racing at this time.

Thank you for your patience while we navigate these uncharted waters.
