This was a race from off Willoughby bank to the Chesapeake Light. We sailed it on the Bowman 46 Castanet owner by Neil Ford. It was a great sail to the light and we were becalmed on the return at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.

Hampton Yacht Club has a fleet of 6 Sonars used for adult sailing as well as the Jr program. One part of this is steam Racing. Team racing is a lot of fun. I look forward to it on Thursy nights during the summers. Come join and learn. It is quick and will make you a better sailor.

Great racing in the spring in Hampton Roads. Three days with race 1-2 being W/L on day 1. Race 3 being a long distance around government marks on day 2. Races 4-5 being W/L on day 3.
Wednesday night racing is casual at Hampton yacht club. It is not scored and is a great opportunity to relax, enjoy the evening, take new people sailing and train the crew. It is a fantastic mid week activity.
In 2021 I continued supporting Youth Sailing Virginia. This involved shuffling the fleet of power boats for practice, learn to sail and Hgh School Sailing
In 2021 I was fortunate to volunteer to support and run as the PRO Youth Sailing Virginia (YSV) Regattas. Mill Creek at Fort Monroe is such a great venue.
We have great friends Gene and Diana Thompson who have a wooden trawler the M/V Strumpet. On a non work day morning, Gene will gather a crew to go the Glazed Doughnuts in down town Hampton. Boat call is typically 0700 and we are back to Fort Monroe with doughnuts in hand by 0930. It is always a great day on the water.
It is nice to have friends like David and Trena Stalfort who will take you cruising on their Catalina 310. We have had some great days.
