MRA Racing Members: We are currently having difficulty getting accurate scoring results posted, as there are members of the racing community that are not yet registered for the season. Perhaps our ‘going green’ this year made you forget to send us some green, but there are several issues that are triggered by the number of registered participants in each class. Each time someone comes in as a late entrant, it means that previous races may need to be rescored. Therefore – LAST CALL! If you wish to be scored for any races in the first series, as well as for the rest of the summer (including the NOOD Race Week), you MUST have your paperwork and fees to MRA by Wednesday, June 24^th! 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 will be 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.
