Sorry Registration is Closed Sponsored and organized by BBSA, the Leo Wardrup Memorial Cape Charles Cup will be held on August 14-16, 2020. Traditionally (but not this year), 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. It is the cruising event for serious racers and the racing event for serious cruisers. There is truly something for everyone. Change in 2020 race plans due to COVID-19: For this year only, we will not race to Cape Charles and stay overnight. Both day's races are designed for all boats to return to home port at the end of each day. No overnight destination is scheduled this year. Critical Documents for 2020
