Announces
The Chatham Sailing Club, in partnership with the Charleston Ocean Racing Association hosted the inaugural Savannah Cup offshore sailing race on August 20th and 21st. The race, a part of CORA’s Ocean Challenge Series was run from the start at 6pm on the 20th in Charleston harbor, offshore overnight to the finish, at the Tybee Roads shipping channel approach buoy. From there the fleet, consisting of twenty one boats in three separate classes motored upriver to the Westin Harbor Resort docks, where they were welcomed to Savannah. After a social adjacent to the Westin’s pool area immediately off the docks which featured live music, the participants crossed the river via ferry to Kevin Barry’s Pub and enjoyed a banquet and awards presentations to winners of all classes and to the overall winner, whose name, boat name, yacht or sailing club, and year won will be inscribed on the Savannah Cup. The Cup is an antique silver punchbowl from the 1920s which features two lion-faced gryphon who clutch the bowl’s two handles. The bowl was chosen as being representative of the gryphon statue standing before the Cotton Exchange, an enduring symbol of Savannah. Winners were: Class C (Cruising, non spinnaker): Shenanigan (Law); Class B (Cruising, spinnaker): Old School (Jacques); and Class A (Racing – spinnaker) and overall: Big Booty (Eudy). Plans are already being made between CSC and CORA for next year’s event. For more information on the Savannah Cup or the Chatham Sailing Club go to: http://www.chathamsailing.org.
