Chesapeake 20 Appreciation Weekend & Nationals Regatta
departing from and returning to AMM docks
Saturday & Sunday, June 28-29, 2008
A fleet of beautiful Chesapeake 20s -- the oldest one-design racing fleet on the Bay -- made its way to the Museum for a celebration of the class, of traditional boat building, and of recreational sailing on the Bay. Many of the boats are family heirlooms, and go back as far as 1935, the year Mermaid was built.
The boats were towed to the Museum docks (most came from the West River area) and the celebration began with an all star race on Friday, June 27. The race featured some of the best Bay racers against one another in the classic boats. Race results are below.
Later in the afternoon a soggy but enthusiastic party on the Museum grounds featured a delicious fish fry thanks to Mt. Zion Methodist Church. A storm put a pause on the outdoor cooking and festivities and everyone packed into the Barge House to wait it out. Guests took that time to watch a video about the boats, see memorabilia from the Hartge Nautical Museum in Galesville and to chat about the boats.
Once the storm passed a rainbow appeared over the boats (see photo at left - photo by Elvia Thompson) foretelling of a great weekend to come for the Chesapeake 20 Nationals. Regatta results are below.
The Chesapeake 20s celebration was sponsored by AMM, Four Rivers Heritage Area, Hartge Nautical Museum, Eastport Yacht Club, North Sails & Comrent International.
