"George Collins, Chessie Racing's founder and skipper, and Kathy Alexander, Chessie Racing's press officer, capture the essence of the Whitbread through the eyes and ears of Chessie Racing. They traveled to every port, and George sailed on three of the legs. They started observing and recording this emotional roller-coaster ride from Day 1 and present it here for all of us on shore to enjoy."—from the foreword by Gary Jobson, ESPN sailing commentator

This book records the history of the racing yacht Chessie, the first ever entry from the Chesapeake Bay in the famous Whitbread Round the World Race. Skippered by Baltimore businessman George Collins and named after the Chesapeake's equivalent to the Loch Ness monster, Chessie became a focal point of regional and national pride when she competed in 1997-98. That year was also the first time that Baltimore and Annapolis were included as a combined stopover in the nine-leg, 31,600-mile race, beginning and ending in Southampton, England. After a neck-and-neck race up the bay against famed skipper Dennis Connor, Chessie entered Baltimore's Inner Harbor greeted by the cheers of thousands of fans. During the stopover, over a half-million visitors came to the Whitbread Race Village in Baltimore and an additional sixty thousand toured the Race Village in Annapolis, giving Baltimore-Annapolis the highest attendance of any of the nine ports visited by the race. ; 9 X 0.88 X 12 inches; 240 pages.
