I'd like to invite the Sunfish class to come to Portsmouth and race. I am not sure exactly where to post the info so here goes:
Merrimac Memorial Regatta
Saturday May 28th (Memorial Day Weekend)
Hosted by the Portsmouth Boat Club
The annual Merrimac Memorial Regatta will again be held in the waters of the Elizabeth River off of Portsmouth City Park in Portsmouth, VA. The regatta is open to all sailboats under 22’. Any 4 boats of the same class will receive their own start. The open fleet will be scored under the Portsmouth Handicap system. Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in all fleets. The skipper’s meeting is at 09:30. The first gun is at 10:00. A Memorial Day cookout will be held at lunch. Racing will resume after lunch. Awards will be given out later in the afternoon.
Camping and/or boat storage is available to out of town competitors at the Portsmouth Yacht Club.
Please see our website for more information including pictures and results from previous years: http://portsmouthboatclub.org/pbc_merrimac.htm
Please feel free to contact Jack Herbert ([email protected]) with questions.
As you can see, in addition to one design starts, there will be a handicap fleet so Supersunfish and other boats that may not generally get a chance to race are eligable for this one.
I hope to see some of you on the race course!
Thanks,
-Jack
