Fair winds, George B
Is in the process of collecting 1970 Sailing memorabilia
from Regatta of the 70’s & 80’s .
What I’m looking for are old Regatta T-shirts , Trophies,
photographs of sailors in the sailboats of the day.
We will gladly return them to the owner, or if you would,
like we would be stewards of their
memory.
So now is the time to clean out your closets, basements,
and dig out that sailing memorabilia from the past!
Please contact Dotty Holoubek, 410.562.2721' Gigiholoubek@gmail.com

Notice of Race
The Wild Goose Chase Race will be
conducted on September 9, 2023. This is
a Non-Spinnaker pursuit style race in which slower boats start
first. The race will begin near the
Cambridge Yacht Club, continue towards the Choptank Light, and return to
Cambridge. The spirit of this race is to
give those boats that never win a chance to be competitive.
Boats with higher handicaps will start
first. This year modified PHRF ratings will be used to determine
the appropriate delays. The PHRF ratings will be tempered with actual
performance records from the regular ESSA season. No boat will be delayed more
than 60 minutes. The winner must pass all boats ahead. The first boat
across the finish line is the winner.
Starting times will be posted on http://essasailing.blogspot.com/
no later than September 7, 2023, at 1200.
