The 62d Annapolis-Newport Race began at noon on June 5, 2009 in the Chesapeake Bay off the Severn River with 61 boats entered. Starting host was the Annapolis Yacht Club with its expert race committee. It was a constant-rain day, but with NNE breezes sufficient for a spinnaker start. AYC's Dave Gallitano provided his boat and expert operation for these photos - thanks, Dave.
