[C320-list] 320 Regatta in Annapolis - Governor's Cup

[Bruce Stumpp]

For those of you not familiar with the Maryland Governor's Cup race, 2008
will be the 35th running of the oldest and longest overnight sail race on
the Chesapeake Bay.  It is a full-out race down the Bay covering a 70-mile
course from the mouth of the Severn River in Annapolis, the modern capital
of Maryland, to St. Mary's City, that state's colonial capital. The race
starts at 6:00 PM and finishes early the next morning. This is a real
challenge through the night with upwards of 200 boats and many obstacles
such as fishnets, large commercial traffic, shallow waters, etc.  The C320IA
Regatta Friday dinner cruise aboard the 65-foot luxury yacht Cabaret II will
head out of the Severn River at 6:00 and should be able to catch the
beginning of the race.  We hope many of you will join us for the
festivities!

Those of you attending might want to know that the annual Governor's Cup 
race from Annapolis to St. Mary's City starts from Annapolis on August 
1.  I believe that they usually start from buoy R2 at the entrance to 
the Severn River with the first start about 1800.  You might want to 
time the Friday evening dinner cruise to get out to the starting line on 
time!
