RRYC Typhoon Racers Take On Others In FBYC's One Design.

A small fleet of sailors from Rappahannock River Yacht Club sailed to the Deltaville area and Fishing Bay Yacht Club.  The waves and wind were strong, rain came down hard at times but all of us made it across and are ready to race tomorrow and Sunday in their One Design Regatta.  Stay tuned as we update you on how things go tomorrow.
