17th annual 
Leo Wardrup memorial Cape Charles Cup

Sponsored and organized by BBSA, the Leo Wardrup Memorial Cape Charles Cup will be held on August 15-16, 2020. This 2-day distance racing event with its overnight destination of Cape Charles is unique to racing in the southern Bay.  Both days are part of the Southern Bay Distance Racing Series (SBDRS).  This race attracts racers from up and down the bay and has PHRF and cruising classes. 

Go to the Documents page for the Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions, Information Sheet, and other documents to read more details about the 2020 race.

The event also enables BBSA to make a contribution to Sail Nauticus, to support the sport of sailing and the development of young sailors. There are many raffles and silent auctions going on during the festivities to give you a chance to win prizes and support our donation. 

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. There are daily and overall winners, so anyone can win.
