The
1977 Championship of Champions Regatta - sailed in shiny new Chrysler Buccaneers!
(photo courtesy of David Spira)The 1977 C of C regatta was "interrupted"
by Hurricane Clara. A young Matt and Greg Fisher were competing in the regatta (third boat
from the pin), which was held just off Annapolis, MD. Due to the hurricane conditions,
many boats were capsized, some were damaged, and it was difficult to rescue some of the
racers. Greg Fisher recalls that after they got everyone back and the boats put away, they
waited until the hurricane was over, fixed the boats and finished the regatta. They got
one more race in and C-15 champion Tom Linsky won the regatta.
