Annapolis Leukemia Cup adds two feeder races for 2018

Give organizers of the Annapolis Leukemia Cup credit for thinking outside the box with regard to figuring out a way to grow the charity regatta.

Officials with Eastport Yacht Club have announced a new wrinkle for the 2018 Annapolis Leukemia Cup. In addition to the traditional fleet racing held annually off Annapolis, this year’s event will include a pair of point-to-point races.

Keith Jacobs, race committee chairman for Eastport Yacht Club, reports that Herrington Harbour Sailing Association and Miles River Yacht Club will both conduct a distance race that begins in their respective home waters.
