 WE NEED YOUR TOWNIE PHOTOS!
........................................................
75 Years of Town Class Sailing | Slide Show | 1936 - 2011
As part of our 75 year celebration the Regatta committee is assembling photographs for a slide show to be presented during the National Regatta. We would like to have as many past, present and future Townie sailors, family and friends represented.
Please take a few minutes to pull out your favorite Townie photos for the slide show. Pick your favorite shots of racing, sailing, prepping the boats, skippers and crew...old and new! Help make this slide show a real part of Townie history! We are planning to send everyone home with a DVD too!
We are able to accept prints, slides, negatives or digital files. There are several ways you can get them to us:
1) Photos, Slides or negatives That Need Scanning: These can be mailed directly to Robert Wilson who will carefully scan your photos. They can be returned by mail immediately or given back to you at the regatta.
2) Digital Picture Files: Any digital files can be put on disc and mailed to Robert Wilson, CD/DVD's will be returned. E-mail is also a possibility but we would like good resolution and as many photos as you want to include so e-mail may not be the best route unless you have just one or two photos.
3) Digital Files Via
"Dropbox", if you have or want to open a free Dropbox account please send an e-mail to Robert and he will invite you to the shared NDC Townie Dropbox folder. This is the easiest way to exchange large files over the internet.
If you have any questions please contact Robert at:

A Brief History of the Walsh Cup
In the mid 1940’s, the Walsh Family of Willow Road Nahant established a trophy to encourage Team Racing between the Nahant and Marblehead Town Class Fleets. The trophy is inscribed, “Town Class, Team Race, Nahant vs. Marblehead, but it is known as the Walsh Cup. The Walsh Family raced Townies as members of the Nahant Dory Club, and regularly participated in Marblehead Race Week,
The races were always held in Nahant, as Nahant sailors went to Marblehead for Race Week. The format was a two race series, held on a Sunday, with an equal number of boats from each fleet scoring. This was necessary because in most cases Marblehead had more Townies racing than Nahant. Everyone could compete, but only an equal number from each fleet would count towards the final score. Over the period 1947 to 1969 the races were held 18 times with Marblehead winning 15 out of 18 times.
