2007 Beer Can Series Results

Burnham Park Yacht Club sponsors the Wednesday Night Beer Can Regatta. The Beer Can Regatta is an informal racing series for sailors to have a good time with their boat, family and crew.  Any BPYC member with a sailboat is invited to participate. The racing is casual.  There are two jib and main sections a T-10 section and three spinnaker sections.  There are fourteen races starting with a Tune-Up race on May 21 and Wednesdays May 28 through Sept 3 with no race on July 23 for a low registration fee of only $50.00.

The races are run at the Starting Area 7 Olympic circle just east of the Burnham Harbor entrance.  The boats typically head out to the race a 6:00 pm and get back before 8:30 pm.  Following the race, back at the club, the results are posted, the rum is awarded and the stories begin.  Discount drinks and a light meal are available. 

We will have a Beer Can Prep meeting on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 in the BPYC at 7:00 PM so if you are interested in learning about the races and registering your boat fill out our registration form and fax or email it to Dick O’Connell, the Beer Can Chairman, at beercan@bpyc.com or come to the meeting/party.

We also have opportunities for crewing on our boats, so if you are interested in trying racing please send an email to beercan@bpyc.com
