Mark Flaherty and I must verify all boats are qualified to race so please don’t wait as it makes our jobs harder than necessary. Your membership helps us coordinate and prepare for another great season of competitive racing. Additionally, make sure your PHRF Chesapeake handicap certificate is up to date and valid for the full season. The Notice of Race will be published within the next two weeks, so stay tuned for all the details!
This year, LCR will use the BBSA website forum function as our primary method for announcing race cancellations. LCR Forum
