Chris Larson Nominated for US Sailing's 2009 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Award

It wouldn’t be December without the annual “year in review” and “best of” lists, and the release of US SAILING’s shortlist of nominees for the 2009 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year Awards marks that traditional milestone for the sport of sailing in the United States. On the nominee shortlist: Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis Melges 24 World Champion Chris Larson.

Welcome to the Annapolis Yacht Club

World class racing, extensive cruising, championship junior sailing, and fantastic facilities.  That's what you would expect from one of the oldest yacht clubs in the country.


Founded as an informal canoe club in 1883, the Annapolis Yacht Club has built a tradition of excellence.  Our mission is to encourage and support a wide range of boating activities, and to provide and maintain a suitable clubhouse and associated facilities for the recreational and social use of its members.
