Guest Speaker
BBSA member Bill Wheary will tell us about the Salty Dawg Sailing Association (SDSA) whose mission is to educate sailors, build camaraderie, and facilitate offshore passages. Bill is the SDSA Port Captain for the SDSA and has made numerous ocean passages in SDSA Rallies, so he is quite familiar with this organization and how it could be of interest to so many of our members.
Learn about the many SDSA webinars and other educational resources available as well as Ocean and Near Coastal passages and Rendezvous events run by the SDSA and its member volunteers.
Whether you are currently a Bay or Ocean sailor or plan to be, come to this discussion and see why 1800 sailors have become members of the SDSA.

For the 2024 Leo Wardrup Memorial Cape Charles Cup, we have decided to offer everyone a chance to design the graphic that is printed on our event shirts, skippers' bags, and on the yearbook cover. We are running a competition from March 1-April 15 for the most innovative, attractive, and appropriate artwork. You can use photography or other methods to create original designs that you are willing to donate to the Leo Wardrup Memorial Cape Charles Cup organizing committee.
We plan to incorporate the winning design, wholly or partially, in the final design that will appear on shirts (t-shirts, tech shirts, etc.), the skipper's bags, the yearbook cover, and other documents. Runners-up will be featured in composite pages in the yearbook and website with full attribution.
