On June 23, under sunny skies and a light breeze, the Annapolis Yacht Club held a first ever Harbor20 Fleet 5 Regatta honoring AYC Commodores. The weekend of June 22 -24 marked the 126th anniversary of Annapolis Yacht Club. The newest AYC fleet of Harbor-20 sailboats sponsored the First Annual Commodores Cup Race which was a huge success as seven current and past AYC commodores competed in 3 races. Each boat sailed with a three person crew which included the boat owner, a Commodore, and a crew person selected by the commodore.

After very close racing, the winners were past commodore Cappy Kidd with crew member Molly Wimer and owner Peter Trogdon on SKIMMER #311. Current Commodore Kevin McNeil and crew finished in second place.

A special luncheon and awards ceremony for all of the race participants and spectators followed the event.

Attached are some images from this wonderful day of sailing.
