"Pipe down."

Most people have said it. Few know it came from the age of sail.

More than two centuries later, it's still part of everyday language—whether you're aboard a boat or not.

AYC's TWO-BRIDGE FIASCO IS BACK!
Two bridges, zero crew (or just two!), and total strategic chaos. 💥

Online registration is officially OPEN for the 2026 AYC Two-Bridge Fiasco on Sunday, August 2!

This pursuit-style race challenges solo and double-handed crews to round marks at both the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Naval Academy Bridge.

The twist? There is no set course—you choose your routing based on the wind and currents. Open to everything from windsurfers and dinghies to PHRF cruisers and one-designs.

Registration Deadlines:
July 27: Non-standard boats (dinghies, multihulls, windsurfers)
July 29: One Design & PHRF boats
