NEW CLASSES EMERGE AT CHARLESTON RACE WEEK
IRC, Mixed Sportboats Classes Build As Entries Near 150
CHARLESTON, SC (March 01, 2010)- With 45 days to go, Charleston Race Week organizers are excited to announce the inclusion of IRC racing in the South's biggest and most exciting multiclass keelboat regatta. "IRC hasn't really caught on here in Charleston yet," said Race Director Randy Draftz. "But with hugely successful boats like Teamwork and Stark Raving Mad,and true Grand Prix racers like Vincitore entered in 2010 Charleston Race Week's IRC Class, we're certainly starting off with a bang!"
US-IRC Executive Director Luiz Kahl believes that Charleston is the perfect place for the international rule to grow. "IRC's growth has always been driven by boat owner interest, and we're glad to see Charleston Race Week competitors embrace it, further building the event's reputation as one of the top multi-class regattas in North America," said Kahl. IRC has seen solid growth in the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Caribbean, while a number of Florida events include IRC classes, and Charleston "provides a natural transition" for these widespread areas, according to Kahl. "With such a great sailing town developing an IRC fleet, we hope the word will spread throughout the area about this simple and respected international rule that works equally well for Maxis and small cruiser/racers," said Kahl. As of today, Eight boats between 35 and 52 feet are registered to race IRC including the overall winner of 2009 Charleston Race Week, the winner of the Fort Lauderdale to Key West Race, and the winner of Key West Race Week's PHRF division.
Charleston Race Week is part of the 2010 US-IRC Gulf Stream Series as is the Fort Lauderdale to Charleston Race, which starts a week before Charleston Race Week and acts as a feeder race for CRW.
A mixed 'Sportboat' class is also likely, with boats like the Flying Tiger 10-Meter and Viper 830 registered to race as of today. These lightweight flyers are the big brothers to small, light, and ultra-fast one-design classes that make up more than half the Charleston Race Week fleet, and a separate class allows them to race against boats with similar sailing characteristics rather than the heavier, larger boats that they would ordinarily race. As of today, 45 boats are registered to race in the various PHRF divisions. Current event entries are here.
The South's Biggest Regatta!
With most major winter/spring regattas suffering yet another hard year, major decreases across the board, Charleston continues to gain steam as it works towards another record year. With 149 confirmed entries, Charleston Race Week can claim the title of "biggest multiclass regatta in the South" to go along with its longtime moniker of "friendliest regatta in the world." Vincitore tactician Rodney Keenan has some idea why. "When we looked at which regattas to do during the winter, we figured out that we could sail Charleston Race Week for the cost of just shipping the boat to the Caribbean," Keenan said. "That's hard to beat, and with our friends telling us how great the racing, the parties, and the nightlife are, it was an easy decision."
With two Melges 32s entered and a number of owners sitting on the fence as they prepare for their big event in Miami this week, 2010 may see the first-ever Charleston start for this Class, perhaps the hottest big-boat racing in the world right now. Most Class events see 20 or more of these ultra high octane rockets racing against each other, and over 30 are expected at their World Championship in San Francisco this summer. "We sure hope to round out our sportboat showing in Charleston with a Melges 32 Class presence," said Melges Performance Sailboats CEO Harry Melges, Jr. "Charleston has been a great place to race Melges 24s for years, and the new Audi Melges 20 had its first-ever class start in Charleston just last year. And we can't forget the strong fleet of MC scows, E-Scows and Melges 17s...Melges Performance Sailboats love this city and the city loves them!"
Two Melges 32s are already registered for 2010 Charleston Race Week, and organizers have provided free storage for Melges 32s and other trailerable boats with some limitations - more info is available here.
Entertainment Lineup Sizzling Hot
With the help of Other Brother Entertainment, Charleston Race Week organizers have planned the best lineup of entertainment ever seen at Charleston Race Week. Thursday night's opening bash-on-the-beach features funk, reggae and ska band The Plainfield Project, while Friday's revelry will feature rock and dance music from party band Two 3 Ways for the entire crowd to 'get their party on.' Saturday brings long time Charleston Race Week solo performer Calvin Taylor with his mix of classic and modern covers, and of course all of the festivities benefit from the overwhelming favorite drink of sailors worldwide - Gosling's Rum Dark n' Stormies.
Win A Three-Day Sail Aboard A Classic Schooner - For 18!
All proceeds for Charleston Race Week go to the nonprofit South Carolina Maritime Foundation, an organization that educates thousands of at-risk youth aboard the beautiful and classic Spirit of South Carolina pilot schooner. The Foundation is kicking off 2010 by hosting a sponsorship drive for its summer scholarship fund with a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime prize: a three-day, two-night sail aboard the Spirit for the winner and 17 of their closest friends. Room and board on the 140-foot traditional gaff-rigged schooner are included, but transportation is the responsibility of the winner, and the cruise will take place in either coastal Carolina or New England at the winner's election.

The money raised will cover the cost for approximately eight students, giving equal access for all students to participate. The winners will be announced on the final day of Charleston Race Week on April 11, 2010. With the purchase of two or more tickets you'll receive a free South Carolina Maritime Foundation calendar while supplies last. Corporate entries are welcome!

CHARLESTON RACE WEEK ATTENDANCE RECORD SHATTERED AGAIN
Over 180 Boats to Attend the South's Biggest Sailing Event
CHARLESTON, SC (March 25, 2010) - 2010 Charleston Race Week is just around the corner, and the South Carolina Maritime Foundation (SCMF) and Charleston Ocean Racing Association (CORA) are proud to announce that they've already broken another attendance record with two weeks still to go before the first race. "We're once again very grateful to see so much support for Race Week and for our city," said SCMF CEO Will Haynie. "Registration is almost over and soon we get to the fun part - seeing 1,500 sailors enjoying our beautiful waterways and Charleston's legendary hospitality."
With 180 entries on the scratch sheet as of Wednesday, the South's largest regatta is again raising the bar, with a second consecutive year and the fourth out of five with a record entry list. Haynie attributes the event's success in the face of tough economic times to various factors. "Charleston Race Week has been the beneficiary of people needing to make hard choices with their time and money these days," Haynie said. "This event has proved to be a great value, with the three things that sailors crave most: Good weather, reliable wind, and great parties."
After crewing for two years on other Melges 24s, making the decision to bring their own boat was easy this year for August and Zac Hernandez, the owners of High Voltage. “A lot of the good Melges 24 sailors from the US are part of [CRW]. After getting to know the other 24 guys and finding out what races they signed up for, making the decision for Charleston this year was pretty easy,” stated Zac.
Race Locally, Race Globally
Race Week's origin as a regional PHRF regatta hasn't been lost with the event's growth, and alongside Southeast-based PHRF and one-design teams is a large contingent of teams from around the country and around the globe The well-traveled Southern Cross 52 Vincitore never seems to stop in one place for long, with a crew that includes many New Zealanders and a home port in Switzerland Germany’s Christof Wieland will be racing in the Melges 24 class for the second straight year, and Canada is well represented with Viper 640 String Theory and longtime CRW competitor Slapshot in the Tripp 26. This is the first start anywhere in more than two years for the Tripp 26 class. International boats are no new factor to CRW, however; last year’s event showed an equally strong international presence with boats from France, Ireland, Germany, and the UK.
Closer to home, boats from 19 states will face off in Charleston. The Texans are hoofing it across the South Coast with nine J/Boats and Vipers, and the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast are all well represented in the hot 'sportboat' fleets, which make up more than half of all entries.

Record Race Week Fleet Packed With World Champions
CHARLESTON, SC (April 05, 2010) - Sleek, carbon-fiber racing sailboats are flooding into Charleston with less than a week to go until the first starting gun of 2010 Charleston Race Week, and entry records aren't the only thing being broken. Race Director Randy Draftz was a bit surprised to see more than 16 sailing World Champions spread throughout the fleet along with innumerable National, North American, Collegiate and Olympic standouts. "We've always said that Race Week should be the most enjoyable regatta in the South, and it's great to see so many world-class racers embrace not only the great racing, but the laid-back and fun attitude that Charleston is all about."
With names like Harry Melges, Bill Hardesty, and Chuck Norris showing up on crew lists, Charleston Race Week has come a long way from the local regatta it started as some 14 years ago. 2005 Team Race World Champion and 2009 US Coach of the Year Mark Ivey thinks organizers have struck just the right note. "Charleston Race Week mixes professional race management with a relaxed and truly welcoming attitude ashore," said Ivey. "On the water, the competition is as good as anywhere, but off the water, the friendly atmosphere is a nice break from the high-pressure environment of other events." Ivey will sail in the 30-boat Melges 24 fleet on Charleston local Guy Mossman's Battle Rhythm.
Melges 32 World Champion skipper and New York Yacht Club sailor Pieter Taselaar will be making his Charleston debut in 2010 in his chartered Viper 640 Bliksem, and with 29 other boats, this Class ties the Melges 24 as the largest at Race Week. "Everyone talks about how great Charleston Race Week is, so we found a way to get down here, but we're not expecting to win," said Taselaar. The Dutch native and New York resident didn't skimp on talent for his crew, which includes multiple World Champ Willem Van Waay and Australian 18-foot skiff champion Michael Coxon. "We're coming because we heard we'd have a great time - if we do well, that's great too," said Taselaar.
191 competing boats are registered for this year's running of the 'Southern Classic,' and they will race in 15 different one-design and handicap classes on four different race courses - two inside the harbor, and two outside.
J/Boats - Then and Now
Rhode Island-based J/Boats is one of the largest manufacturers of racing yachts in the world, and with 58 J/Boats registered in various classes. The J/80 class is the largest of them, the 17-year old design drawing 21 entries on their 'road to the World Championship' which will culminate in Newport this summer. The Class is replete with talent, including former World Champs Kerry Klingler and Glenn Darden, who comes to Charleston fresh off a victory in 2010 Key West Race Week with his Le Tigre. The enduring J/24 continues a tradition of strong attendance at CRW, with 17 teams vying for bragging rights in this 33-year old design.
But it's not all old-school for J/Boats, and more than a dozen of their larger racer/cruisers are scattered in the PHRF and IRC handicap fleets. But the big news is a Friday night 'sneak peak' presentation from J/Boats CEO Jeff Johnstone on one of the most-anticipated racing yachts in years - the new J/111. "Sailors have been asking for this boat, and we've answered," said Johnstone. "The J/111 is an offshore-capable boat that gets the adrenaline pumping, while also offering a great platform for inshore one-design racing and even week-end cruising with the family."
Jeff Johnstone and Craig Crossley will present in-factory photos, and reveal details on specifications and schedule for this design, which will make its premier this June. "The backlog of orders is now out a year, with boats heading to great venues like Auckland, Chicago, Newport, San Francisco, San Diego, and the Solent," said Johnstone. "With any luck, we'll see enough critical mass for regional one-design racing into the 2011/2012 seasons, including Charleston Race Week."
Please RSVP for time and location to Craig Crossley at CrossCurrent Marine at 401-330-6135 or craig@crosscurrentmarine.com.

"That's 20% off anything ordered before May 1 - from custom racing membranes to cruising sails."

Winds of up to 25 knots cause gear failure, weary crews after first racing day
CHARLESTON, SC (April 09, 2010) -Chilly temperatures greeted a record fleet of racing sailboats this morning for the first day of 2010 Charleston Race Week. Over 185 boats braved 55 degree-morning temperatures today as they sailed to the race course, but their reward was a surprise 20-knot breeze that made racing today “a serious adrenalin rush” as Melges 20 competitor Peter Crawford put it. Temperatures reached the 70s by noon, providing picture perfect sailing conditions to start race week off with a bang. “I don’t know if conditions could be any more perfect than today,” said Christof Wieland, who traveled all the way from Germany to compete in his second Charleston Race Week. “The competition was stiff, and the breeze stiffer – we hope we get more!”
Jam-packed inshore courses saw plenty of heated action and tight racing across the one-design fleets, and major drama as skippers struggled to control their overpowered boats in gusty breeze. British-based Viper 640 Hijack found their pre-regatta practices to be invaluable to their performance today. “Both Wednesday and Thursday were plenty breezy, so we really got the practice we needed to keep the boat from going over,” said owner Matt Sole. Like many of the racers here, Sole “wasn’t overly concerned with results,” instead focusing on the fun that fast sailing brings. While many of the ultra-light Vipers broached and capsized in strong wind, smiles were frequently seen on crews hanging on for dear life until their boats righted themselves. The Michigan-based Viper 640 Jackpot leads this hot class with three first places out of four races.
International Melges 32 Class President Jeff Ecklund is taking a break from his usual thirty-two foot raceboat to sail the smaller Melges 20 for the weekend, and couldn’t be happier about the racing. “I call it a ‘pocket 32’ because it acts just like the big boat, only it seems faster in these conditions.” Ecklund was also excited to see the two Melges 32s scoring big in PHRF C, with Roxanne and Black Ice in first and second place. “We had a fine day, and we’re going to rock it tomorrow” said Black Ice crew Erica Bush, despite their team breaking a jib halyard, forcing some rapid on-the-water repairs.
The professionally-run Race Committees squeezed in a fourth race inshore after competitors thought the day was over, with reactions split across the tired but exhilarated teams. “Races were only about a half hour long, so we ended up coming in earlier than we liked,” said local Melges 24 racer Dave O’ Reilly. “We’re worried we won’t have these great winter winds tomorrow, and we always want to get in as much big-wind racing in as we can. We wanted to sail even more than four.”
Unlike O’Reilly, top international Match Racing champion Simon Minoprio was “wiped out after the first race” – and rightfully so – the Kiwi match racing champion helped his team to three first-place finishes today to lead the IRC fleet aboard the 52 foot Vincitore. “The seminar on tides and currents offered by the event was very helpful, and today it offered some explanation to the strange wave and current conditions we experienced at the top of the course.”
Local competitor Cal Huge on Jubilee was able to maneuver well through the all-too-familiar currents, though they attribute their strong second-place position in IRC to more than just ‘local knowledge.’ “Good crew, quick sets, quick douses and lots of practice gave us the tools to do well today,” said Ned Goss, the crew boss of Jubilee. “The wind was just ripping and we were able to keep up with it.”
Full results are available here, and you can view more great photos at Charleston Race Week’s Facebook Gallery. Tomorrow’s racing begins at 10 AM offshore and 11 AM inshore, and Sunday will conclude this premier regatta.
