Scow Racing on the Potomac (and elsewhere)

REhoboth Bay Inland20-Lightning REgatta: CANCELled

This year’s event has been cancelled due to low registration.

Many sailors are opting for long overdue family vacations and we fully support that. For anyone out there who was still considering this event… join us next year!

For anyone who has not sailed Rehoboth Bay, this large inland bay is just a few hundred feet from the ocean and offers some of the most reliable winds to be found in late summer.

Click here for the Notice of Race. This event is co-hosted by the Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association and the inland20 scow fleet of the Potomac River.

Stew and Jack with Nabeel Alsalem Award

Scow Fleet Captain Jack Sheehan won the 2019 PRSA fall scow racing series and Scow Race Director Stew Harris won the spring series.  The two scow sailors got their names on a plaque at the annual Potomac River Sailing Association soiree, Nov. 15 at the Heavy Seas in Arlington.

The PRSA also awarded Sheehan and Harris with the Nabeel Alsalem Award for fleet development. The scow  fleet has grown to six I20s, one M scow and one MC Scow.
