Welcome to the Thistle 2023 Atlantic Coast Championship June 24-25 2023.
MBBC has hosted a number of One-Design Championship Event
2001 Lightning North American Championships (102 boats) 2003, 2011 & 2017 Lightning Atlantic Coast Championships (40+ boats) 2004 Sears Cup Triple Handed Jr. Sailing Championship (10 boats) 2007 Laser National Championship (150 boats) 2009 Lightning World Championships (60 boats) 2012-13 Shark US National Championship (25 boats) 2021 J24 National Championship We will have great open course racing in the outer Malletts Bay, the
same course where the 2009 Lightning Worlds and the 2021 J24 Nationals were sailed. The Outer Bay
is a nearly circular bay 4 1/2 miles wide, that is almost completely
separated from Lake Champlain by an auto causeway to the north, and a
railroad fill to the west. With an average water depth of 70 feet, this
configuration provides an excellent body of water for racing with "wind
appropriate" wave heights and minimal powerboat traffic. It will take 35
minutes to 1 hour to sail out to the course area, depending on the wind
strength and direction. |
