This largest of the country’s NOOD regattas, with 200 boats last year, will also be the J/109 Mid-Atlantic Championship; and the first of three qualifying events for the beautiful J/109 Class Association East Coast Regatta Series Trophy. The other two are the J/109 North American Championship at Block Island Race Week (the mandatory event) and the Red Grant Regatta, this year’s East Coast Championship hosted by Raritan YC. You must race in at least two of the three events. We’ll have our special Fleet 4 party in Annapolis on Saturday for all J/109 owners and crew. Mark your calendars and begin your planning now. Annapolis Fleet 4 members will help you make your plans. Call Fleet Captain Bill Sweetser at (703) 626-3847or email at commerce2@sweetsers.com .
