Helly Hansen SWRS in Annapolis

Helly Hansen SWRS wraps in Annapolis and heads to Motor City

Knowledge of the Chesapeake Bay and its light, shifty winds paid off for local sailors this weekend in the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series – Annapolis, as winners in 15 classes call the area home.

Full Results for the 220-plus boats that raced are HERE.

Bell Carty, of Annapolis, Maryland, owner of the Harbor 20 Puffin, won the regatta’s Sportsmanship Award for her efforts to coordinate the Harbor 20 fleet’s first year of participation in the Regatta Series.

Cate Muller-Terhune, of Annapolis, owner of the J/70 Casting Couch, won the 25-boat class and was selected as the regatta’s overall winner, which earns her team the Annapolis berth at the Caribbean Championship in the British Virgin Islands, hosted by Sunsail in October. Terhune and her team will race the top team selected from each of the five stops of the Regatta Series, and the defending Champion, Cedric Lewis, who also is from Annapolis.

About Helly Hansen

HELLY HANSEN HERITAGE

Norwegian captain Helly Juell Hansen founded the company in 1877, making the first supple, waterproof jacket allowing he and his crew to sail in rough conditions. Their oilskin jackets, trousers and other equipment quickly grew in popularity, and gave rise to a loyal following and decades of innovations stemming from Helly Hansen’s birthplace in the rugged fjords of Norway. With the introduction of Helly Tech waterproof breathable outerwear, the original fiberpile fleece midlayer, and the first technical baselayer with Lifa, Helly Hansen pioneered the 3-Layer System principle that sits as the basis of sailing and outdoor.
