On Sunday, September 14, we had excellent southerly wind with four races in our Fall Series at West River.  Gracie dominated with four wins; and Spirit and Picardy tied for second with the tie breaker going to Spirit.  Several boats are weighed and next year's National Championships (known as the Worlds in odd years) is announced for June 26-28, 2009 in Annapolis.

Five Chesapeake 20s compete in August 29th Annapolis to West River Race in varying conditions with Picardy coming in first:  five Chesapeake 20s also competed in August 30-31 WRSC Billy Heintz Annual Regatta with Maury Neibur finished first in Endeavor. 

The results of the Trad Avon Yacht Club Heritage Regatta resulted in a two way tie for first place between Carole and Maury in America, and Bob Engle with Michele as crew in Endeavor.  Picardy was one point behind, and Gracie two points in very close racing.  Also, the NOR for the Annapolis to West River Race on Friday, August 29th and the WRSC Annual Regatta on Saturday and Sunday, August 30-31, are provided.
