It is the cruising event for serious racers and the racing event for serious cruisers. There is truly something for everyone. 

The overnight in Cape Charles includes a fantastic party at the Oyster Farm Marina at King's Creek, including great food, music, dancing, first day awards, and camaraderie with fellow racers.  Plus get ready for another day of exciting racing back to Buckroe Beach on Sunday.
