Rock Hall Yacht Club, on the Chesapeake's picturesque Eastern Shore, will host the 2005 Summer One Design Regatta on Saturday and Sunday June 18th and 19th, 2005. Rock Hall is a great place to sail with a lot of open water, very limited motor boat chop, easy beach launching and plenty of grass on which to park and rig. We greatly appreciate your attendance at our regatta.

We have also just completed a major upgrade to the club with the addition of a bathhouse, covered pavilion and pool, so bring the family and enjoy the weekend.

Camping is encouraged. And you will love the food and get great race management.
