JUNIOR SAILING AUCTION, JUNE 28TH   Come and support your Junior Sailors!   Fireworks at TAYC are on July 5th.

If you can help, contact Pete Bailey. PHRF FLEET NEWS: Annapolis to Oxford Race Scheduled for Saturday                 With the number of entries declining each year, and after consultation with many racers, the TAYC board has decided to schedule the Annapolis to Oxford Race on Saturday of Oxford Regatta weekend with a noon start. Consequently the Robson Race will be on Sunday. It is our hope that allowing skippers and crew to compete without taking Friday off work, and changing the event from a three day event for the out of town boats that stay for the Robson Race to a two day event will bolster participation from the non TAYC boats. The details are still being ironed out. As with the previous two year’s time changes this is another experiment and comments and ideas to help make this work are encouraged.
