2014 Race Schedule
Model of Stormy
Annapolis to West River Race & Heintz Regatta
For the Billy Heintz WRSC annual regatta, Bob Blomquist in Gracie dominated the five boat fleet in pretty heavy winds on both Saturday and Sunday. There was a capsize, broken headstay, ripped up fairlead, among the damages as we either had to deal with large powerboat wakes on Saturday off Rhode River, or a rolling sea on Sunday off Curtis point. See delays below.

Miles River Yacht Club Regatta, August 6-7, 2011
Mile River Yacht Club
American Red Cross One Design Regatta
Seven Chesapeake 20s raced at
the Miles River Yacht Club Regatta on August 6 and 7, 2011. Most towed over by Robin’s powerboat, and Barbara’s
sailboat, except for David Childs who achieved one of his bucket lists by sailing
over single-handed. Unfortunately, the
bucket list came without a bucket which he could surely have used at the regatta.
The winds were southerly both
days, and by the fourth race on Saturday, there were gusts up to 20 knots. In early racing the wind was out of Miles
River, but shifted to off the shore.
There were plenty of shifts, but generally going left paid off on Saturday, and right on Sunday. On Sunday, there were good puffs coming out of St Michaels, and a huge calm area in the center which filled in as approaching the finish.
On Saturday, there were two
capsizes: Heather Childs that needed to be towed in (but no damage), and Osprey
that got right back up with hardly any water in the bilge.
Seven races were held with a throw out. With three firsts, Gracie led the way with Endeavor and Stormy, next in order. As you can see from the score sheet below, there were plenty of position changes, and four out of the seven scored at least one first.
