The annual Virginia Cruising Cup
race from Annapolis to Old Point
Comfort may be made a biennial
event and on OF years, a race
staged from Old Point, northward.
Discussions along this line began
at Hampton. Va, last week end,
following the 9th running OF the
123-mile bay classic. There is q
feeling that larger fleets may come
out If the change is made.
One suggestion was that the race
be held on even years, as is the
case Of the Newport Bermuda ocean
race. On odd years, race might
be arranged to coincide with the
finish of the Newport Annapolis
event. 1t is coming up next June.
If this is done, it would call for
another perpetual trophy. This
would offer an opportunity for
some upper Bay club to sponsor a
mug-perhaps with the name OF
Maryland Cruising Cup.

boating public that, in the main,
is law-abiding and co-operates with
the Coast Guard in promoting
