Chesapeake 20 All-Stars and Nationals Rules

Posted in: Current

Attached are the latest lists regarding the boats/skippers/crews for both the Allstar regatta on Friday June 27th and the Nationals on Sat-Sun, June 28-29th. 

Hopefully all this madness will work out!!
These events should be great fun.

The boats will be towed to Annapolis Maritime Museum early on Friday June 27th so that we will be organized at AMM before the skippers meeting at noon.

Please let me know if you are towing your own boat.

If you need a tow, the tow boats will be LEAVING the dock at WRSC at 9:00 AM. SHARP!!   It would be best to have the boats in the water on Thursday evening.

ALLSTARS REGATTA
We have a great group of allstars racing.  It would be wonderful if each of the boat owners would call their respective allstar skipper to introduce themselves, get acquainted, and assure that everything is all set for Friday’s racing, etc.  I will note on this mailing the skippers phone number if you likely do not know it.

I have emailed the notice of race for both the allstar and national regatta.  If you didn’t get them or need them, please let me know. 

Roger Link  (410) 867-4097 days,  (410) 867-3007 evenings
