The weather has turned
cold and it is more difficult (not impossible) to sail. However,
you can still get your Multihull fix because the membership meetings
will be held all through the winter!
The Chesapeake
Multihull Association’s March meeting will be held at the Annapolis
Library on March 20th at 2:00pm. It will feature a lecture by Eastern
Shore sailors Rex and Celeste Conn. Rex is the master/skipper of
Alacrity, a 50’, Dick Newick designed Traveler Trimaran. They will
discuss the dismasting of Alacrity at the 2004 Heineken Regatta in St.
Maarten, the dramatic rig-less run back to the Chesapeake under kite
(looks like a parachute, it’s sheeted only from the deck - mast not
necessary), and preparations for the 2005 Faraday Mill Single-handed
Transatlantic Race.
Admission is free and is open to the general public. Rex has
participated in several significant offshore passages, logging over
70,000 offshore miles on various multihulls and monohulls. The Annapolis
Library is located at 1410 West Street.
