    Veterans Day Race – Come Celebrate Our Veterans!
    Little Creek Racers (LCR) invites all BBSA skippers to join us for our annual Veterans Day Race!


    This fun, friendly race is our way of celebrating and honoring the men and women who have served our country. We’ll race just north of Little Creek Inlet, using the same marks and courses we sail on Wednesday nights – so it’s easy to join in. 


    Whether you’re a regular racer or just looking for a good excuse to get out on the water one more time before winter, this is the perfect way to spend Veterans Day. First warning is 9:55 AM and race is expected to last approximately 2 hours. 


    Come race, cheer on your fellow sailors, and help us honor our veterans! 
    Regards,
    Rob Williams
    (757) 639-6671

    NOTE:  We are looking for a volunteer RC boat for the race.  If interested, please send a note to LCR@broadbaysailing.org
