From: Douglas Ellmore



Ahoy CHESSSmates!
 
A few items for our membership.
 
The Annapolis to Bermuda Organizing Committee is looking for a CHESSS member to help promote a shorthanded division for the 2026 A2B race.   If you are a paid member and would like to help promote shorthanded sailing for the race, I am looking for someone who will assist them and provide updates to the CHESSS Board.  Please reach out to me if interested.
 
We are still looking for a Race Committee for the Last Hurrah race Nov. 1st.  We have one volunteer without a boat who would assist someone with a vessel.  It does not need to be a sailboat to be the RC.  It a pretty easy task, with hands on training and a script that can be provided.
 
September 6 is the 2025 Navy Fall Race to Oxford organized the AYC and TAYC - https://www.yachtscoring.com/emenu/50405.  We have 4 boats in the CHESSS Spinnaker, but I am also trying to get a non-spin CHESSS division.  We need at least 3 boats that would like to have some fun.  I will register if I can get 2 more boats to mess around going from Annapolis to Oxford.  They are required a two member crew, but if your a solo sailor, just bring a friend to watch you and maybe go below and get snacks and beverages!  Let me know ASAP!
 
Registration is also open for the CHESSS Last Hurrah, you can register at https://www.nextsailor.com/app/page/regatta/806.
 
Cheers!
