J/24 2019 Pennant Series (2nd of 5)
HHYC Typhoon Races
Charlie Bangs was one of the most loved sailors and racers at HHYC. Charlie passed away but his spirit lives on at HHYC. Charlie and his sturdy Cal 20, the Molly B, could be seen on the waters of Henderson Harbor almost every day in the summer. When Charlie was racing the Molly B it was often said “If you could see his sails on the horizon, he already beat you!” Charlie sailed his Cal 20 in many races; he was competitive and loved to win, but he was also one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Come celebrate Charlie’s spirit by participating in the race that bears his name.
The Keg Classic is the HHYC fun race.
It consists of two races. The first determines the order of starting in the second race. Finish last in the first race and start first in the second. Sail fast and the Keg Classic Cup is yours!
Oh yeah—bring water balloons and squirt guns or else you may end up all wet!
The race will be open to all HHYC participants. A Race Fee of $5 will cover pennants and equipment.

Don’t end up on the Dark Side of the Duck! The Duck Island race is HHYC’s long distance race. There were many years when the best sailors amongst us have been stuck on the Dark Side of the Duck. Keeping this in mind, HHYC has tried to make the Duck more civilized. We have developed Plans B, C, and D just in case the wind is blowing the Duck off the pond, or well you know…the dark side thing again. We will follow up our race with a Cook Your Own Steak Dinner followed by awards.
The Henderson Harbor Yacht Club and the Crescent Yacht Club host the Summerville Memorial on alternate years. Skip Summerville was an avid racer on the eastern shore, competing with his J35 "Summerwind". Skip was instrumental in bringing US Sailing to Association Island and worked tirelessly to advise and oversee its reality for Eastern Lake Ontario leading up to the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. At the Olympics, Skip and his wife Jan worked at the Olympic venue in the sail measurement assignment, and their daughter Jessie was named Chairman of the Tornado Class Trials.
In 2019 the regatta will be hosted at HHYC on September 7th. We are hoping you will go and race with members of the HHYC and CYC.
The race will consist of three course-races with an awards dinner to follow. Remember that the Summerville Regatta is the third race in the three race series that will determine the Eastern Shore Boat of the Year. In order to be eligible to win this great honor, you must race your boat in all three Eastern Lake races, which include:
Registration fee: $20 U.S.
Skippers Meeting: 9:00 am First start: 10:00 am
The U.S. Sailing Rules of Racing applies to all competitors.
