The Marblehead Racing Association (MRA) was established in 1969 by the Boston, Corinthian and Eastern Yacht Clubs to coordinate and foster One Design Racing in the Marblehead area. Its racing program encourages the development of competitive racing skills at all levels, sportsmanship, and the highest levels of competence in race management. Racing is scheduled several series over many weekends for the ten local classes from May to September each year. The highlight MRA Regatta is Marblehead Race Week, which was established in 1889. In recent years the senior divisions have been incorporated with the National Offshore One Design (NOOD) Regatta for a unique and exciting event. In conjunction with the Junior Division, typically attracts upwards of 200 boats. Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta @ Race Week is held from July 23-26, 2009.  Many other races and events occur throughout the summer. Boston YC  hosts the Jackson Cup Team Racing and the Prince of Wales Area Quarter-Finals, Eastern YC hosts the 505 Spring Regatta and a Team Racing Series, Corinthian YC hosts the Etchells Northeast Championship and the J/24 Northeast Regionals, while the combination of the Pleon / Boston / Corinthian / Eastern Yacht Club host the Chubb US Sailing Jr Championship in August. A reminder for the awards presentation in the EYC dining room is on Oct 23^rd. Chef Christopher has put together an incredible menu, and with MRA’s contribution, the cost is only $20 per person. RSVP to Cheryl Byrne, the MRA Secretary. More photos from the Grays Rock Line in 2007.
