Do you (or anyone else for that matter) know of anyone in the area that 
offers a 320 for Charter?

> Association Regatta and Meeting.
>
> The C320IA officers are excited about plans to gather our C-320 members in 
> this historic city and capital of Maryland for an educational and 
> fun-filled weekend of boating and camaraderie.  Our plans include sailing 
> and racing on the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay and a 3-hour dinner 
> cruise aboard the 67 foot luxury yacht, the Cabaret II.  In addition, 
> there will be a tour of the United States Naval Academy - one of the most 
> prestigious institutions of higher learning in the nation and a National 
> Historic Landmark, marine vendors, historical speakers, a gala awards 
> dinner Saturday night with door prizes at the renowned Phillips waterfront 
> restaurant in the heart of downtown Annapolis.

> Need more?  Extend your Annapolis vacation a few more days and visit the

> or visit St. John’s College - founded in 1696 and one of the oldest 
> institutions of higher learning in the U.S.   Need still more?  Take a few 
> more days and visit nearby Washington, D.C. , Baltimore Maryland – home of 
> Fort McHenry and the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, and Ocean City – 
> Maryland’s seaside playground.
>
> It’s always great to meet sailors with the same taste in boats.  We hope 
> to attract as many 320’s to this event as we can.  Since not everyone can 
> bring their C320 to these locations we traditionally ask the owners who 
> bring their boats to take the land-locked owners out for a sail or race 
> thereby giving everyone who attends a chance to sail on a C320 in waters 
> they might not otherwise get a chance to sail in.  If you bring your boat, 
> I hope you will participate - the favor is always returned as we move 
> around the country each year.  In addition, everyone can see and take note 
> of the endless array of modifications owners have made to their boats, 
> meet the current and incoming Association officers, make new friends you 
> will undoubtedly chat with on-line or see again at future Regattas, and 
> compete in the C320 International Regatta for a chance to take home the 
> perpetual International Regatta half-hull trophy.
>
> Our home base will be the Port Annapolis Marina where slips will be 
> available for all boats in attendance.  This is a super 16-acre facility 
> with a short ride to downtown via land, water taxi, boat or dinghy. 
> Facilities include beautiful grounds, a pool, a putting green (don’t 
> forget your putter), plenty of parking, picnic grounds, and a large 
> pavilion that will be furnished and reserved for C320IA gatherings.  Slip 
> fees will be $2.50/foot and electricity is included – not bad for the 
> Chesapeake – and bikes are available for free at the Ship’s store.
>
> A weekend schedule and event links are provided below.  We’re working on 
> hotel information and pricing for the weekend, this information will be 
> distributed as it is available via e-mail so watch your Inbox or contact 
> Warren Updike (WUpdike at hotmail.com) or Bruce Stumpp (BStumpp at comcast.net)

> We look forward to meeting in Annapolis!
