BCYA
The Baltimore City Yacht Association (BCYA) exists to organize, sponsor, and promote sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, in and around the Baltimore (Maryland, USA) harbor. The club consists of approximately 20 racing yacht owners and 70 dues paying members. As a member of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association (CBYRA), we sponsor the Tuesday evening summer racing series in Baltimore Harbor, two of the major CBYRA Saturday bay race events, as well as pursuit races in the spring and fall. New members are always welcome!
