Bay Buoy Boogie – Rally Series!
May 10
READY YOUR CREW!
What is the Bay Buoy Boogie?
The Bay Buoy Boogie is the first in Club Nautique’s own challenge rally series. This event will take place on Saturday May 10, 2025 and is open to all Club Nautique members! The rally is an opportunity to experience mark to mark sailing in a relaxed, casual manner. The event will be a combined rounding of bay buoys with the finish line near the entrance of Ballena Bay. This unique event will challenge old salts and new! All participants meet back at the CN Alameda Clubhouse for award presentations and after party food and fun!
We’re using the RaceQs app to track the whole thing, so we’ll be able to broadcast everyone’s progress live in the Clubhouses and replay all the excitement.
Teams are encouraged to charter for the full weekend in order to take advantage of Friday afternoon boarding. All sailboats 31′ to 52′ are available for participation, so be sure to book your favorite early!
Registration Fee: $50 per person includes afterparty

Terms
Only Club boats may participate. All souls on participating vessels must pay the registration fee. Chartering skippers must have a minimum of US Sailing BC certification to reserve a boat. There will be a handicapped “Pursuit” start. So, first to finish wins. Powerboat charterers are welcome to participate as observers.
How to participate
1) Pick your boat and crew
Skippers may reserve boats and find crew later. Skippers must pay the registration fee for themselves at the time of booking. They may organize their teams and use a charter-share strategy if they wish. Please remember that registration fees must be collected in advance for all souls aboard.
2) Need Crew? / Want to find a skipper?
