- Schooner Woodwind: Wednesday Night Racing
Apr 28, 2010 to Sep 08, 2010
The Schooner Woodwind and her twin sistership Woodwind II will offer a unique opportunity for passengers to experience the thrill and fun of competitive match racing on Chesapeake Bay during the 2010 summer sailing season. Woodwind and Woodwind II will be match racing every Wednesday night that there is an AYC Race. Both boats will start on the AYC starting line at 6:45pm, and then race out to a slightly different race course, probably a little longer. During the race, passengers ("guest crew") will be able to participate in helping to sail the boat and steer the boat, when appropriate of course. This will be America's Cup style racing since it is match racing, so the competition will be very strong between the father and daughter teams who are the captains of each Woodwind. - First Sunday Arts 2010
