Allen, The cruising class is pretty laid back, but there are a few determined racers in it. The racing venue for SBRW varies from day-to-day. It includes a distance race on Saturday. The cruisers only race on Sat. and Sun. All boats need to meet PHRF Chesapeake near shore safety requirements. The wind is usually light and local current knowledge is key.
You boat will certainly be competitive in the cruiser division. Check last year's race results to see who will most likely show up again this year. SBRW is a well-attended event. The parties are legendary. Plenty of Black Seal rum. Contact me off list if you have any questions.

She's really a cruiser racer, but well equipped for club racing. I just received preliminary notice of the upcoming Southern Bay Race Week and Norfolk Harborfest Challenge. What's involved in racing in cruising class and what sort of boats would we be facing? What are the winds and tides like in these venues? She has a wing keel so her PRHF is somewhere in the 140s. Can we be competitive? I'd have to assemble a crew. Oh, and reread the rules.
