Rock Hall makes the pool and great camping facilities available with registration. Please purchase your meals and use the bar for all it's worth to support the Rock Hall Yacht club... that is where they make a few bucks to support the sailing program!
One final note for Catamaran racers: Rock Hall agreed to host the first Junior Olympic event for multi's in the US this year. They already have junior teams from Syracuse NY and Seattle WA coming into compete. If you talk to a club member please thank them for their support of catamaran racing!
