Races with Cruising class

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.

David, I'm not sure where you keep the boat but there is a group out of Georgetown on the Sassafras River that does some cruising class racing. I think they may be out of Sailing Associates. I knew of a guy with a B361 that raced his and that's where he keeps it. BTW what model Beneteau do you own?

Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. I sail my boat, a 2008 Beneteau 40, out of Haven Harbour Marina in Rock Hall. That would be a bit of a sail for me but I'll keep it in mind.
