The ASSA Albemarle Challenge Regatta is organized by members of the Albemarle Sound Sailing Association. Members are Colington Yacht Club, Edenton Yacht Club, Osprey Yacht Club, and Pasquotank River Yacht club. The regatta is open to all ASSA keel boats with a valid PHRF rating. Visiting race boats will be allowed to dock their boats free of charge at the Albemarle Plantation Marina (if slips are available) on the Sunday before the regatta and must depart the Sat following the regatta. Boats given slips must register with the Dockmaster and show proof of insurance. An anchorage exists close to the marina, and the Dockmaster will make a launch service available.
The 2023 Albemarle Challenge Cup Sailing Regatta was held at Albemarle Plantation, Hertford, NC, and hosted by the Osprey Yacht Club, September 29, 30 and October 1.
18 boats participated in three tightly grouped PHRF classes which produced spirited and close racing. Skippers and crew enjoyed three days of racing, including short, middle, and long distance courses around drop and government marks. Mother Nature delivered near perfect conditions, with winds consistently 10-12 kts out of the NNE.
