The 2025 C.W. Stoll Race de Bay was exciting! Strong winds from the south brought gust topping 25 knots and wave action in the channel. Several of the boats, understandably, declined to race. The boats that raced from Escanaba to Gladstone were challenged by the conditions and enjoyed the exciting day on the water. Thanks to the Gladstone Yacht Club and the Gladstone Marina for supporting the event!

Possible time penalties for boats lacking adherence to the Mid-Summer Race attire requirement. At the Skippers meeting, there will be additional special race rules declared.

The post-race social is BTS (bring to share). Asking the skippers and crews to bring hors d'oeuvres, snacks, desert, or drink/cocktail to share. Friends and families are welcome.
