>> 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

>> 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 
>> National Sailing Hall of Fame, do a walking tour of the Historic 
>> District,  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

>> 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
