2001 Paul Parramore Regatta

Severn Sailing Association, Annapolis, MD

June 9-10

The 32nd running of this regatta got under way June 9th in light air 
and heavy chop. Our newest fleet member, Che Hale (#1010) had a fine 
showing of 5th in the first race. While Tom and Tara Stout (#1064) posted their
best finish of the regatta. The next race featured Pete and James
Mckenna (#1140) posting their highest finish. The conditions were quite
challenging for some of us but it was quite pleasing to see so many new
boat owners "up there."

Sunday's first race proved to be the most interesting of the whole
regatta. With the racing taking place just inside the mouth of the
severn, the final beat turned into a run with the whole fleet coming
roaring up (under spinnakers) to the leaders who were still on a beat.
This race proved to be Mr. Reshetiloff's and Ms. Davis's (#699) best
finish of the regatta. This was his first outing in his freshly rebuilt
and tanked hull. This was also the best finish of the regatta for Chris
MacMurray (#962) who also got into the class last year and fixed up a
fiberglass boat. I believe he was the first one to set a chute on the
final leg! 

The final race was sailed in SSA's "A" course and this was quite 
welcome and this race saw the McKenna's "in the hunt" again. There was one boat
that was not out there that has won this regatta many times in the past
and were very much missed. Rhett and Celeste Simonds who we hope will 
be taking delivery of their new Jet-14 at the Irey Memorial regatta next
weekend at West River Sailing Club. Their past boat (#530) of 25 years,
however, was out there having recently been restored, and was raced by 
M & L Parramore.

It is really great to see all the new faces in the fleet and especially
all the speed some of these new faces are showing, This could prove to
be a very exciting year for the Jet-14 fleet on the Chesapeake.
