We took the jersey speed skiff to Hampton, VA for the annual Hampton Cup Regatta. The race is held at Fort Monroe which is the last remaining fort actively used by the military but they are in the process of leaving. The fort is 6 sided with a moat completely surrounding it and is famous for holding Jefferson Davis after the Civil War. The race itself is held on Mill Creek and is viewed from East Mercury Boulevard Bridge. Unfortunately for the many spectators there were not many boats. Hopefully next year with the Summer Nationals being held at Hampton there will be a better turn out of boats. The skiffs had the largest field by far. JS-7 Rolling Thunder finished 1st in 3 heats but came in 2nd in the final behind JS-99 Veri Cheri driven by Dave Greenlaw Jr.
