SEVERN SAILING ASSOCIATION & EASTPORT YACHT CLUB
ANNAPOLIS, MD
AUGUST 11-18, 2000

North American Championship Competitor List
by District 
(92 Teams from 6 Countries)

    Very nice flag ceremony last night. To honor all the visitors from South America, our hosts hoisted all six flags and played the National Anthems. Then a representative from each District stood and introduced the sailors from their District. The SSA Commodore especially recognized the sailors who had come more than 1000 miles: all the teams from South America, from Belgium, from California, Colorado and Manitoba - all in all a great crowd.

First day of the Qualifying Series: well, they're out there. The wind is blowing, with gusts, 10-20. There are lots of clouds with spatters of rain. Cool temps in the 70's. We're expecting some capsizes in all these gusts. The Race Committee will run three races if possible, since we have the wind today and you just never know what we'll get tomorrow. We'll be reporting the results when they come in this afternoon.
