Ladies and Gentlemen

It is that time of year again to start thinking about the Rock Hall Yacht Club "Down the River Race" and the "Annual One-Design" Regatta. This year the "Down the River" Race from Chestertown Golf and Yacht Club to Rock Hall Yacht Club will be held on June 11th, followed by the "Annual One-Design Regatta on June 12-13th at RHYC.

The "Down the River" Race is a "run what you brung" race down the scenic Chester River on Marylands Eastern Shore. This race attracts all kinds of sailing craft from 100yr old Chesapeake Log Canoes to F16's. For the last several years the event has been won by Chris Ford on a A-Cat w/ Ed 'Lucky Duck' Mills winning it last year.

The RHYC Annual One-Design Regatta will have a A-Cat Class start along w/ Open Class start. If enough F16's preregister and express a preference for a seperate "Spinnacker Class" that can be arranged.
