From the regatta website:

The Typhoon National Regatta to be held in Virginia June 22-24, 2012
IRVINGTON, VA, April 11, 2012 –Rappahannock River Yacht Club is hosting the Cape Dory Typhoon National Championship Regatta June 22-24, 2012. For the second straight year the Typhoon Nationals will be held on the Northern Neck of Virginia, home of the world’s largest Typhoon fleet with over 60 Typhoons plying nearby waters. There were over 2,000 of the Carl Alden designed Typhoons built between 1967 and 1986, affectionately called the "World’s Littlest Yacht."

What would appear to be a graceful looking cruising yacht is somewhat a "sheep in wolf's clothing"... with race fever giving these pocket yachts added purpose as evidenced by the upcoming Typhoon Nationals. The venue for this year's Nationals is the confluence of Carter's Creek and the Rappahannock River, located mid-Chesapeake Bay within a day's sail of Annapolis or Norfolk. Many cruising yachts choose idyllic Carter's Creek for laying over during coastal transits due to the plethora of fine dining, lodging and sheer beauty of the surrounding area.

Interest in competing in this year's Nationals has been coming in from up and down the East Coast and as far away as Colorado. Race organizers hope to more than double the number of last year’s participation, which consisted of 32 Typhoons.
