Heritage Race June 6, 2010 Notice of Race

The NOR for the Miles River Yacht Club One Design Regatta is below.  It will take place on August 1, 2009.  This one day regatta is an experiment and would continue the C-20 tradition of three away regattas.  C-20s raced at this regatta for many years including in 1938.

Clay Taylor and Ted Weihe acquired Babs and Volunteer from the Hedlers.  It is generally assumed that Babs is a Mower design, but its sail #111 corresponds to the third design, Defender, by Captain Dick Hartge in his efforts to build a faster Chesapeake 20 than Vanity. 

The update discusses actions at the November 8th Chesapeake 20 annual meeting and potluck dinner with new officers elected, awards announced and new Chesapeake 20 round stickers made available to class members to promote the class and our web site.  We had two excellent speakers: Will Keyworth of North Sails and Molly Winans of Spinsheet.
