Ahoy Skippers
The following is to remind all of the five day, three event Tilghman Trifecta from September 9 - 13 for RC Lasers, EC12s and Star 45s.
#10. September is the beginning of Oyster season. None better.
#9. The Tilghman On Chesapeake community has docks if you come by boat and the swimming pool and locker rooms are available for all guests.
#8. There will be 5 prizes for each event with skipper gifts added for your efforts. We have spared no expense. You will have a great time.
#7. The Star 45 NCR has the following pre-registered skippers:
Jim Linville
Herb Dreher
Dave Littleton
Bob Shluger
Roger Baldwin
Mary Goebel
Fred Goebel
Rick Ferguson
David Ramos
Alex Ramos
Dave Branning
Frank Vella....yes, Frank Vella, Soling grande poo bah will be here!
Where is the region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 gang?...let's go guys...deadline is August 30.
#8. A suggestion is to rent a house. There are a few good deals that are better than a motel located in Tilghman and St Mikes:Tilghman House Rentals
or here: St Michaels House Rentals
#7. But wait, the St. Michaels Inn (formerly the Best Western) has a $99.99 regatta rate if you mention the Tilghman Trifecta or Dave Branning for those dates.
#6. The EC12 portion of the Trifecta is on a Thursday and Friday...Sept 10-11. It is the third leg for the Colonial Cup. So it's during the week, I know. With some advance warning you can ask for a couple of days off and enjoy the traffic free drive. Deadline is August 30. So far Roger Baldwin, Rick Ferguson, David Ramos, Dave Branning and Harry Mote are registered. Really!
#5. Gerry Cobley is the PRO for the Star 45 NCR. He's experienced and has a sharp eye on the line. We are lucky to have him. He will be surrounded by a crack team of drop dead gorgeous assistants to be named later. Screening is taking place as we speak.
#4. Rick Ferguson is the PRO for the EC12 Regatta. It's a formidable task since he's also registered for the event as a skipper. This will certainly be worked out in due course.
#3. Socially we will have a couple of group organized no host dinners and some free nights to explore the terrific Eastern Shore delights.
#2. We are sailing these three classes because the Regatta Chmn is in the witness protection program and is not allowed off the island.
#1. The NOR is on the AMYA calendar for EC12's and the Star 45. To register for the RC Laser event send an EMail to laserdave93@yahoo.com and tell him you are coming. There is a 30 boat maximum for the RC Laser one day event.
