Welcome to the 2003 Chesapeake Raftup Information Page

Each year members of the Catalina 27 group of Sailnet host 2 raftups on the Cheasapeake Bay. One in the northern or middle bay, and one on the southern bay. The purpose of this web site is to diseminate information on these raftups, and to allow you to coordinate your participation in them.

Northern Raftup This raftup is scheduled in June. It usually numbers about 7 to 9 boats. Its held in the middle bay area. The prior two years have had it on Broad Creek (2001) and the Rhode River (2002). If your interested in learning more about the 2003 northern raftup, click here.

Southern Raftup The southern raftup was held for the first time last year. This is the smaller raftup, usually held in May so as not to compete with the northern raftup. If your interested in learning more about the 2003 southern raftup, click here.
