Day Sailer Chesapeake Open

What a terrific weekend for the Day Sailer Chesapeake Open. This was our first Invitational, post Covid and we got 8 boats on the line. Aided by beautiful early June Annapolis weather and a fairly steady 8-12 knot breeze, our Regatta Chairman Dave Koepper and our Race Committee of Henry Thomas PRO and Stephen Cofer DRO pulled off 6 great races.

We had new some new faces in the fleet this week; racing for the first time we had SSA members Bonnie Urban skippering with Amy Harris, LeAnn Myhre crewing for Matt White. We also had new crew Mark Ragland sailing with Erik McCaffrey, Kirsten Pacca sailing with Jeff Seltzer and Benji Tschudin sailing with Chris Lewton.

Racing was tight, as less than 30 points separating 1st from 8th. The top spot was dominated by Robin Richards and Cathee Lee who had 5 bullets and a second. (Some were heard mumbling that Cathee Lee needs to move back to Texas).

The next Day Sailer event will be our summer series, July 31 and August 1.
