Hello, I'm new to this site, but I can already tell I will enjoy reading all of the interesting comments and opinions about the Chesapeake Bay.  I have been sailing on the bay for 13 years and I don't believe their is a better place to sail.  Most of my sailing has been spent crusing the upper and middle bay with a few casual Friday night raes thrown in.   I would like to participate in a few races this coming season and  I wanted to know if anyone had suggestions.  I have a boat that is totally a crusing boat with no racing blood in it at all.  I'm looking for races that have a 'cruising' class that are not too serious where I can race with a non-racing crew.  Thanks.
