2020 i420 Mid-Atlantic Championship Report & Results

byTom Sitzmann

18 October 2020, Gunpowder River, MD — The very first i-420 Mid-Atlantic Championship was held on 17-18 October at the new “Chesapeake Experience“, a community sailing venue E/NE of Baltimore on the Gunpowder River. This a fantastic sailing venue! A group of small sailboats with people preparing them on a grassy hill by a calm lake. The sun shines brightly in the clear blue sky, reflecting off the water.
Saturday the fleet had to wait a bit, but the forecasted northerly came in around 1130, and four races were run with varied conditions that included some very light stuff along with full trapeze sailing! Sunday the RC actively sought wind, and 2 more races were completed in a quirky southerly. Great fun was had by all, and an i420 training fleet is now born at this venue!!! If you are interested in our training sessions, please contact us!

Congratulations to Thomas Sitzmann and Luke Woodworth for winning the very first i420 Mid-Atlantic Championship. See you next year!

Several small sailboats with white sails are racing on a lake, with numbers and "USA" visible on the sails. The water is slightly choppy and trees line the far shore under a clear blue sky.
