  • Hampton Nationals Update or Reason # 387 Not to Miss the 2010 HOD Nationals From Latane Montague In researching the attached write-up for the FBYC newsletter I asked Charlie McCoy just exactly how many consecutive Nationals he has done, and the answer is this year will be his 52nd straight Nationals.  To prove his point, Charlie pulled the below write-up from the 1960 HOD Nationals out from under the floor-boards of Calamity Jane.  It just goes to show that if you attend the HOD nationals, you are guaranteed to be a part of sailing history.  Don't miss it.

  • Richard B. Johnson Memorial July 31 The Broad Bay Sailing Association will host the Richard B. Johnson Memorial Regatta on Saturday, July 31, 2010. Skippers' meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. at the Old Dominion Sailing Center.First race starts at 11:00 a.m. They will host a social hour after the race at the Old Dominion Sailing Center which will consist of food and drinks. You may rig your boat and launch it at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club if you desire. I hope you can attend as the Broad Bay Sailing Association remains one of the few host clubs we have who does not charge an entry fee and still provides a party after the races.

  • #618 Spotted on Hampton Creek !! Welcome back HOD #618 which was rumored to be nearing completion and is now evidently back.  I had the privalege of sailing with one of her co-owners at the Trapeze this year and these guys mean business.  They have done an extensive restoration to #618 which included removing her floor and re-stiffening the hull - good move guys!  We hope to see them out at one of the upcoming weekends!  Congradulations and welcome Tim and "___". Send me a message and let me know if there is anything we can do to help !  We are happy to have you out on the water!!

  • New HOD Campaign to watch ! Mike Toms from FBYC has announced that he is gearing up an HOD campaign for the HOD Nationals at his home club FBYC.  He was planning to race at HYC in #712 this weekend to being tuning up and getting qualified, until a freak thunder storm blew a tree over on 712 this Tuesday at the Washington Sailing marina.  Undaunted Mike will be out on the water in Hampton in a power boat, sizing up the competition, until 712 can be fixed.  Mike has logged many races with Leigh on #718, and will be teaming up with his sister Kenney Cobb of FBYC, who is the mother of Anna Cobb, who crewed with Devon Sweeney and Mark Wheeler for many ...

  • Broad Bay and Wolcott Memorial Draws HOD Racers from Connecticut! Third-generation HOD sailor and National Champion HOD crew Chris Harrell flew down from Connecticut last weekend to begin logging his qualification regattas for the "Big Show" at FBYC in August.  Chris sailed with his younger brother Parker, and has not lost a step.  Chris beat Eddie Wolcott and Charlie McCoy to log his victory.   Eddie Wolcott won the first race. Chris Harrell won the second, and then Chris duked it out in very close action with Charlie McCoy to seal his victory.  The final standings were 1. C. Harrell; 2. E. Wolcott; and 3. Charlie & Charles McCoy.  (Chris has been cross training in the Newport, RI Shields and J-22 fleets - so watch out, there is no rust.)  An ...

  • Trevor and Rachel win 2010 HYC Trapeze Regatta Here's a report on last weekend's Trapeze Regatta from Leigh Chapman, Congratulations to Trevor Pardee and Rachel Blake!:From Leigh:  "Undoubtedly, with the heat here to stay, the best place to be Sunday was on the water.  A beautiful, light breeze of about 8 knots from the south, southwest kept all five boats intertwined for a total of five races on Sunday.  Trevor Pardee and crew, Rachel Blake, kept up a string of firsts to finish first…although Leigh and Dave Chapman managed to wrangle one victory from them in Race 4 with a flyer to the left headed downwind to the finish.  It’s nice to have a pilot onboard when the current is cranking; they seem ...

  • 2010 Nationals Update 2010 Nationals At Fishing Bay - August 20-22 Plans for the 76th HOD National Championship at Fishing Bay are really coming together.  Fishing Bay YC last hosted the Hampton National Championship in 1948, when it was won by Lloyd Emory of FBYC.  An Annapolis YC member won in 1948, and the regatta has taken 62 years to swing back to Deltaville.  The date has been optimized to the third weekend in August to give folks an extra regatta weekend to qualify, and so folks can use the preceding FBYC Annual as a warm-up.  Folks can leave their boats at FBYC after Ware River and then do two regattas in a row at FBYC.  The HOD website has information on ...

  • Rock Hall 2010 - report from the Ballantines Here's Tom Ballantine's report from 2010 Rock Hall Annual: "Okay Hampton Peeps" Following up on Charlie's transmittal of the News from Rock Hall, I have some tidbits to offer.  First, hats off to Charlie and Chuck who drove the Town Car Bar across the bridge tunnel, up toward the land of wild packs of shaggy ponies to join Ian and myself at Rock Hall.  Charlie does it.  All the time.  Once he got to Rock Hall, he proceeded to talk the race committee into giving us our own start, on the strength of our four boat fleet.  When I told him I'd heard that Ed Cassidy was home helping Laura recover from some eye surgery he ...
