Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta
WIND! GLORIOUS WIND!
And, up on the Rappahannock, the Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta got a full dose of Mariah. Reports have Saturday winds gusting 15 to 20 from the NNE with 2 -2.5 ft seas. Conditions brought about some significant incidents and a number of retirements.
Sunday the wind went to 12 gusting to 18 from the South. Conditions culminated in two dismastings, thankfully no injuries. The 2019 Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta had 91 entries, 76 of which raced.
FLEET WINNERS:
Div 1: Frank Miller, Windblown;
Div 2: Jesse Swartz, Irrational Exuberance;
Div 3:Glenn Solt, Freedom;

Tom Chapman and Jerry Latell co-chaired this more than worthwhile Hospice regatta. For extensive Turkey Shoot results details and more click here
