FBYC History....
Jere Dennison
The more things change, the more they remain the same. Reviewing the dramatic Jon Deutsch pictures of the recent and highly successful 31st Chesapeake Laser Masters Championships at FBYC, I was taken aback by a comparison of a 1953 Penguin start photo in our archives to the 2012 Laser Masters start. Both photos show the committee boats at anchor in roughly the same location in relation to Stove Point in the background. Other similarities include wind direction, wave action, positioning of the committee boat crews, and the crowded line of single sails as boats jockey for the start. Really, not much has changed in almost 60 years!
