Ready for some fun and competitive (but mostly fun) team racing to benefit a good cause? Severn Sailing Association (SSA) and the Olivia Constants Foundation and other Annapolis-based sailing organizations are hosting Olivia's Team Racing Invitational Regatta August 24-25 at SSA.
All you need to do is register and show up with a skipper and crew. They'll provide the boats. Each skipper/crew pair will sail with many other pairs during the course of the regatta. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, skill, or club affiliation. The primary goal is to bring friends, new and old, tohether to have fun!
Not really up on the tactics of team racing? No worries, a team racing clinic will be led by Burman and Cole Allsopp the evening of Friday, August 23. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be live music, light fare and beverages for everyone to enjoy. (Racers eat free!)
The NOR can be found at severnsailing.org, and click on the regatta tab. All proceeds from the event go to the Oivia Constants Foundation.
Olivia Constants lost her life, at the age of 14, in a tragic sailing accident two years ago in Annapolis. Olivia enjoyed having fun in everything she did, and this regatta is held in her spirit and done the way Olivia would run a regatta.
