This
classic Chesapeake Bay rumble literally began with a bang (of thunder) on
Friday, August 15. Numerous social
events, as well as a full slate of races were expertly executed on the
Rappahannock River, just outside Urbanna Creek. Check out the results and pictures for

(From
Southern Bay Racing News You Can Use #407) Third generation
Hampton One Design racer, Gordon Wolcott, is 2008 HOD National Champion. Gordon comes from
strong HOD lines; his grandfather was Judge Wolcott, an HOD "original", and his father is
Eddie Wolcott, still very active in the
fleet. Gordon, sailing with another "youngster", Sam Stokes (Randy Stokes' son) led the regatta from start to finish
(1-1-1-[7]-3-6), fighting his way through light air on Saturday and
Sunday. Threatening thunderstorms drove the fleet in on Friday
before the scheduled races. On Saturday they got in 4 races and on
Sunday they were bedeviled with the very light stuff, but managed to get
in 2 shortened races. This year's event was in Urbanna, sponsored
by the HOD class. The HOD class will celebrate their 75th Nationals in
2009 at Hampton Yacht Club. Finishing second overall was Latane Montague (3-3-4-1-2 [5]) and third was Eddie Wolcott (2-4-3-3-1 [9]). Race
Officers were Malcolm and Kathy Brady.
