Quannapowitt Yacht Club

Winners Roger Sharp and his daughter Laura Sharp dominated the entire day.

We had another great "Chaos Cup" regatta last fall on October 17th at the Quannapowitt Yacht Club in Wakefield Massachusetts with seven boats attending. As always the QYC members pulled together to help out on the race committee boats and back at the club house in the kitchen.

Just like last year it was cold. It even snowed the day before the regatta! It was also pretty windy in the morning with white caps and gusts blowing across the lake. I became very nervous when Diane Kampf said that she was not going to sail in the rough conditions because she will generally sail in anything. In the end her husband Greg Kampf convinced her to sail so all was good. Lets face it a Flying Scot is pretty hard to capsize on a moderately windy day even for an inexperienced sailor.

Notice of Race

The 2009 DaySailer Atlantic Coast Championships were held on Saturday June 27, 2009.  Ten boats participated in a wide range of wind conditions from drifting to 15 knots.  Click "Read More" to see results.

QYC's May Madness Laser regatta was held Saturday in variable winds and mostly sunny skies. 20 sailors from Mass, New Hampshire and Maine showed up for the season opener. The morning didn"t look very promising, but after a minor delay the winds became steady and never left us for the rest of the eight race series. As if choreographed for a bunch of sailors coming out of hibernation, the breeze let us get our boat-handling skills warmed up and our sailing instincts refocused and then it slowly built to keep our attention sharp.

QYC's May Madness Laser Regatta is open to all Laser Sailors in the area. This is one of the club's best attended regattas and always full of great sailors and good sailing.  If you are a new Laser racer, come join us! There is plenty of room and welcome for rusty and inexperienced racers to get their sea legs back, and lake sailing is a perfect place to build up your boat handling technique.

On October 18th 2008, The Quannapowitt Yacht Club (Fleet 187) had the pleasure of hosting its first annual “Chaos Cup” regatta in the Flying Scot.  Traditionally the regatta was hosted in the International 110 but due to a lack of interest in the International 110 fleet at QYC we decided to re-brand the regatta and sail in the Flying Scot.  The regatta was usually hosted on Columbus Day weekend but this year due to scheduling conflicts we pushed it out a week.

Winners of the Chaos Cup between 1998 - 2003 are unknown. If you know the names of the Skipper, Crew, Boatname and number please contact the club with that information. The "Roaming" trophy has also gone missing. It was a long piece of stained wood with a pair of sunglasses affixed to the top of it and the winners names below. If you know who is in possession of it please contact the club. Your help is greatly appreciated.
