    BBSA's last race of the season, Neptune's Atlantic Regatta, is affiliated with Virginia Beach's Neptune Festival and is also a CBYRA-sanctioned event.  Starting off Little Creek, racers transit the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, sail down the coast, and finish off 24th street.  After a night of fun at the Festival, participants leave the event's complimentary Rudee Inlet dockage (which is on a first come, first served basis) and return home.  This race is part of the Southern Bay Distance Racing Series (SBDRS).

    Registration fee includes 2 free dinner tickets, 1 skipper's bag, and 2 free t-shirts.

    Join us for an October tradition on Willoughby Bay... the Memorial Race.  Racing is for non-spinnaker, single headsail.  This is a staggered-start, pursuit-style race with handicaps taken into consideration at the start.  Each boat will have its own starting time.  There will be a post-race party (approx. 3:30pm) with refreshments at the Rebel Marina Breezeway Cafe.  Race awards will be handed out at the Willoughby End-of-Season Party following the Hot-Buttered Rum Race in November.   Entry fee is FREE for BBSA Members (dues paid).  All others - $10

    2023 documents below.  Will be updated later in 2024.  

    The sailing instructions with course descriptions and starting times will be provided at the Skippers' Meeting.
