Welcome to the Bullseye Sailing Association!
Special Meeting - Sunday May 16, 2021 1600 Hours
Via Zoom Video Conferencing
A request has been made by the Sandy Bay Yacht Club, host club for this summer’s 2021 Bullseye Nationals, to reduce the required number of races attempted in normal, safe conditions to FIVE total regatta races from the SEVEN regatta races required under our Rules for Regattas to maximize local fleet participation. Their request is due to COVID challenges and due to the older average age of the skippers in their fleet. A more detailed explanation of their reasoning can be found in the Background section just prior to the voting line on the Proxy.
Announcement Proxy2021 National Regatta - July 23-25, 2021
The Sandy Bay Yacht Club in Rockport, MA is excited to welcome you for the 58th Bullseye Nationals and super excited to be resuming some of our long delayed Bullseye traditions. We first hosted the Nationals in 1969, and this will be our fourteenth time as hosts. We welcome you to a club that was established in 1885.
The purpose of the Association shall be:
- To promote use of the fiberglass Bullseye as a family boat, and for recreational sailing.
- To provide specifications and rules in regard to hull, spars and sails in order to protect one-design aspects of the fiberglass Bullseye, and to insure uniformity and safety in racing.
- To establish communication between individual owners, and groups of owners, of fiberglass Bullseyes, by means of newsletters and an Association Bullseye publication.
- To encourage participation by owners of fiberglass Bullseyes in racing.
The following pages describe the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Bullseye one-design sailboat, its Herreshoff design heritage, and the group of owners known as the Bullseye Sailing Association. Also included are the complete Constitution, the Technical Specifications A-D, the Technical Specifications E Sails and Regattas Rules of the Bullseye Sailing Association, the results of past National Regattas, some helpful hints for the care and feeding of Bullseyes, listings of sailmakers, trailer manufacturers, a photo gallery of Bullseyes under sail and more.
The Bullseye Sailing Association
Fleets located all along the East Coast keep in touch through the Bullseye Newsletter, which is packed with sailing tips, stories, regatta information, and results. We have members all over the country, but the chartered fleets race out of Key Largo FL, Fishers Island NY, Saunderstown RI, Marion and Rockport MA, and Southwest Harbor ME. Everyone comes together for the Bullseye National Regatta. The location of the regatta rotates, which allows for a change of scenery. Come join the fun, and , if you have an active fleet, consider becoming a chartered fleet.
The Constitution and Rules have been changed so that "Bullseye Sailing Association" replaces every occurrence of "Bullseye Class Association", and "BSA" replaces every occurrence of "BCA".
