J/Port Announces Rendezvous 2000
J/Port is excited at the prospect of the largest gathering of owners, their families & friends and of course their
J/Boats, on the Bay this coming June 22 - July 1.
Rendezvous 2000 will bring cruisers & racers together for a week of sailing, socializing and J/Boat "education" in the extraordinary setting of the historic, Chesapeake Bay.
The itinerary will include both long distance and buoy races, cruises to the Eastern Shore and a visit to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. For those of you who can not participate in the entire week of exploring, a long weekend itinerary has been designed with you in mind.
The itinerary will have a comfortable mix of evening get-togethers and "free" evenings. Most days will have a race scheduled between anchorages, the sign-up for these events can be done in advance or within a reasonable time frame prior to the following day's race.
Additional notices will be posted on our website (
http://www.jportannapolis.com) in the next couple of weeks. The itinerary will be completed and posted with a list of day & evening events as they are confirmed. Pricing for the individual activities will be sent with the initial mailing.
Please email Linda Ambrose (linda@jportannapolis.com) with any questions. We would like to begin a list of interested owners as soon as possible so check your calendar and let us know if you'll be able to join us in this exciting, new event.
LET'S MAKE THIS FIRST ANNUAL RENDEZVOUS A ROUSING SUCCESS. JOIN US!
