Rocket Frostbiting

Join BYC's newest fleet, the Fulcrum Rockets, in their off-season Frostbite racing! The fleet began their first series in the fall of 2022 with 20 racers in 11 boats over 11 weeks. Everyone had a blast.

Rocket racing primary season is Mid-October through the New Years Day weekend. We also race late Spring from April to mid May.

We also had our First Annual Rocket Intergalactic Championship regatta in August 2024. There were several boats and racers from outside of the BYC, including a past Olympic sailor. We completed 10 races in one glorious summer day, just outside of Ram Island.

In the Fall 2024 Frostbite racing series, Thanksgiving Day Regatta, and Christmas Ice Bowl Regatta, we sailed over 60 races across 12 weekends. We had several race days with 14+ boats on the starting line. What a spectacular sight from shore on a late Fall Sunday morning with a harbor full of wintersticks and 14+ colorful sails zipping round the Inner Harbor!

As of the beginning of 2025, we have 14 boats owned by BYC members, and a few more regular boats from non-members, including the boat builder who shows up every week to race with us!

The fleet is extremely generous about lending boats for trial and welcoming new racers. Races take place directly off the BYC docks; we invite anyone to come down on a Sunday to race, help with running races, or even just to join us as a spectator.
