The Chesapeake Open was held May 19-20th and with 12 boats registered the fleet had our best turnout years. Regatta Chairman Lionel Phillips worked with an all start Race Committee, Scott Williamson the PRO and Sandy Westphal the DRO combined forces for a fantastic weekend of racing. 3 light air races for Saturday and 3 breezy races on Sunday (best sailing of the year!). Winners Matt White and Morgan Wittrock were treated with a new permanent Chesapeake Open perpetual trophy that will be on display on the Invitational Trophy wall at the SSA Clubhouse. Brian and Mary Bush in Wait, What? from Chatham Yacht Club were second and Robin Richards and Cathee Lee in Kanaka were third. Jim Fisher and Claudia Minicozzi designed the beautiful keeper trophies and the fleet enjoyed some sweet swag in the form of red bucket hats.
