Labor Day Weekend,
September 5th & 6th
Sponsored by Mercedes Benz / Wilson Motors , the 36th Annual PITCH Regatta will be hosted by the Bellingham Yacht Club on September 5th and 6th, 2009. Over the years this regatta has proven to be the premier "end of summer" regatta with fair winds and sunshine as the predominant weather pattern, making for great racing. Plan to use PITCH as the platform for your fleet championships or as the finishing event to a fleet or club cruise. This year will feature our "greeter boat" and libations; free moorage in the Port of Bellingham's Squalicum Marina ; free burgers and libations at the Friday evening skipper's meeting; Saturday night barbecue with live entertainment by the Atlantics; and a great raffle benefiting the Youth Sailing Program. New for this year are discounted hotel rates at the Bellingham Best Western Heritage Inn and Econo Lodge Suites hotels and free storage for cruising gear. Camping accommodations and discount haul outs are provided by Seaview North Boatyard.
PITCH Points!
Congratulations to Grafix, our overall winner and the Anacortes Yacht Club, for winning the Kelly O'Neil Cup in 2008. Their team of Grafix, Lowly Worm and

2008 Photos
PITCH's official event photographer, Jan Anderson, has graciously offered her photos for purchase following the 2008 PITCH Regatta, and she will send 100% of what you spend directly to Bellingham Yacht Club's youth sailing program. That's right, she won't keep a dime - it ALL goes to support the programs that help shape the very future of our sport. Every time you order, you donate, and every time you donate you can get something for that money ... photos! And if you choose the hi-res digital image file, just think of all the greeting cards, crew gifts, t-shirts and memorabilia you could create! Make sure you remember your crew, family, friends, et al, and order boldly at a mere $10 per hi-res digital image or print, using the official PITCH photo order form.
